Gmail

Well I was just invited to try the new Gmail service from Google. Not really a big deal for me, but it will be interesting how the mega storage amount works out... Could just be a place where uber amounts of spam sit for eternity, but lets not get too negative about it at such an early stage.

I don't rely on out of office/house email at all, but this might change all that!

Here are the rather generous stats..
Nine months until the account is scraped out and recycled.
ONE GIGABYTE, of storage, for a free webmail account. Ahem! Wake up Hotmail, and Yahoo, I think you have some shuffling to do here. They only have from 2 to 4 MB for storage.



Gmail, does it really NEED this much room?!
For those that are not sure of the amount of room given. Hotmail gives you 2MB until it cannot fit any more messages into it's account. Gmail is 1000MB big! GAWSH!
