new Gmail
I've heard that Google is finally going to compete with yahoo and MSN in the free email industry and they are allowing 1 gb of space! I heard it was supposed to come out 3/31/04 but apparently it hasn't come out yet. Does anyone know when Gmail will be available to the public?

1 GIG? Wow, that's alot. Kinda hard to believe. I mean, a gig is 1024 Megabytes. Yahoo! offers 4 Megabytes, 1020 less than this would offer. And MSN offers 2 Megabyes, 1022 less than this would offer. I'm sure they'd offer a good bit of space, but a gig is overkill for Email. Serious overkil...

1Gig seems like too much.

Really, too much is an understatement. Who'd want that much space in their email? You'd have to be pretty damn popuplar....

So maybe it is true... pretty cool. I like the idea of never having to delete anything... but I'd do it anyway, I can't stand to have a messy inbox.

Thats really interesting... At first, I was thinking that 1 gig of space isn't too much because of how I can so easily get it on my hard drive, but then I think about my web server, and realize that I have less then a a gig on my web server and then I am like, "wow".
