Yahoo is gonna go to 1gig in a month. Expect hotmail to follow. They must make a bomb out of advertising to want to keep customers so bad.

Well, dats where services like www.yousendit.com comes in

Me usage so far in gmail is 806mb out of 2.05gb (and still growing!)...

How did you manage that?

[Zanza]

Its not just doubled, but its also infinately increasing by a byte every second or something. they have a counter on the official gmail website showing it increasing in realtime.

yeah I'm tempted to leave a window open permanently just to see how far it goes

so far; 2,068 megabytes (and counting)

Hmm, just had a stupid idea for a website. Ok, you sign up with you gmail account. And every second it emails you a 1 byte attachment, forcing gmail to make good on their storage claims

[Resonance]

I doubt they could handle it if everyone tried to fill their inbox.

[in5ane]

All the more reason someone should make fillmyinbox.com

left it on all night and work and gained an extra 2.4mb, sad eh.

Admitting it is the first step

Actually, how much are 1GB sticks these days? I have a paltry 32MB one, so assume that they are rather expensive.

back to this, not the smallest around but 4gb for ?98

And In5ane I'm off to "sad gits anonymous" this evening, Samaritans was engaged when I phoned earlier...

Someone already did the 'fill gmail' thing when it launched. Turns out they do make good on their capacity claims.

why not just buy a ?10 USB stick ?

what if they were transfering files to a computer in north korea? should they just airmail the USB stick?

[VR46]

Gmail related; anyone had an email from them ? well it has the sender down as me !
