log out and watch the progress of the update. apparently that counter is in sync with the allocated space acutally available in your account! |

Yeah, it looks like it's going to keep increasing. Not at the rate of 1 GB a day though  |

It's easy enough for Google. Just because it says you have that much space, doesn't mean there's 2GB+ worth of space reserved for you. There're playing with the bell curve. Most people won't use nearly that much, so it's safe to promise it to them. |

i think it's increasing aprox. at the rate of 2 mb per day. so by the end of the year we should have another gb or two added |

I know this has been beaten to death but, I have 50 invites. who wants? -Z |

Since compsci.ca, as a whole, has so many invites, I wonder if we should/could make a section on the mx page for donating / getting invites. That is, provided there are still people out there who haven't got GMail yet. Mind you, v3 is much more important. Silly idea... main goals first! |

You do know that google will someday go fully public- so its no use
And if you need an invite, uh post your current email here. |

Yeah, we've probably got enough invites between everyone to invite everyone on this website. |

hahaha!! .. . well google is probally more safe then CDS and DVDS. .. i know i had a cd i made.. i managed to get a gauge in it that made it FUBAR (first time i went to get it off the shelf).. (i dont use slim cases no more cuz they SUCK!) ...slim cases pop open sometimes.. and the disc slide out and fall on floor...and got strachted cuz of the center thingies..!ERR...taht and they can be erases (rws), .. etc.. gmail can also be accessed from anywhere.. and you dont need to lug around a bunch of media.. also atm.. 2GB is a lot of stuff!!! use peer2mail (works AWSOME).. i just zip a 400mb folder of stuff.. peer2mail the zip file.. it beaks it down to 10 mb chunks and sends one at a time to that email address.. .. saves a lot of time.. i just do that while im at school .. ( i have 3 gmail accounts filled with mp3s now ).. you can also just drag a lot of files into the peer2mail window.. but not folders.. |

I guess it's not so much that subscribers will actually use up all the offered space, but the fact is that gmail *offers* it in the first place xD |
