im curious to know when gmail will go out of beta!! it seems that most people are able to get hold of account now as so many people have invites.
while were on google.. did anyone see the thing on 60 minutes about them last sunday night?? my teacher recorded it and brang it to school.

For some people, you could backup your hard-drive onto gmail if you had cable!

How long has Gmail been in BETA? Also, imagine how big Google's hard drive must be!

 

[ToO LaZy ^*]

..i'd say about 100 bigs

 

[MuffinMan]

yeh go infinity plus one
too bad they don't allow underscores in the user name

 

[Jago]

hahaha "brang".

And their whole ploy with the beta was just a marketing strategy, you want what you can't have - and the whole invitation thing was all about being part of the special crowd - and it was a brilliant plan as well. Genius.

It's 2050.839891 now & still going!
I've got 50 invite also. Given 1 out the week before & it automatically "refills" back to 50 this week.

Haha, remember a year ago when we thought the concept of 1GB of storage was an april fool's joke?

 

[IchigoMiruku]

I wonder what they will do next year?

[Jago]

It was announced April 1, 2004 and went Beta shortly thereafter. I got mine on June 24 (back when it was rare, heh)

Attachment size could never get that big, simply because most people's upload speeds wouldn't be up to it. I wouldn't be surprised if it went up to about 50 though.



Anyone else see Google Gulp?

A year. And I think they have more then one. Maybe a hard drive and a zip drive as well.

People with cable or fast ADSL could handle it

not that I have cable

The main thing stopping it is the way email is sent through servers doesn't support large files well.
