I just received an update from Google giving a link to sign up for gmail. I got the e-mail because I was on the "update" mailing list. They have yet to give a public place to sign up, but if you asked for updates, you can get an account. Though anyone who cared enough has one already.
Psh yeah really. I think everyone has 50 gmail invites now

I already receive spam through it and the POP3 connection times out like nobody's business, so I must say they're doing sterling work at keeping up your hopes and dreams for the service

Hah, watch like 300 million sign ups or something and that forcing google to cut 1gb to 500mb.
Now that would suck

I really don't see how if that many people sign up, they would cut size in half. Most of us don't even use a full GB, which is what google is banking on.
hehe :o. I use up a good 16MB. that is because, however, I use gmail to send files and stuff to my friends quickly because IRC's really sucks.

I think there is even a copy of Dr. Snipe in there

So, what you're saying is that Google is overselling?
BTW I use like 110MB
