I am sure hotmail used to be larger than 1MB.

And now all of a sudden 250MB for a free account?? The defies the laws of the economics, lol.

That is my guess as well. Yahoo upped their storage to 100mb a while ago also. I believed at the time that they were scared that gmail would steal all their user away whenthey went live unless they could give current users enough of an incentive to stay.

Post by: Dash Jones on November 12, 2004, 02:06:18 am: What type of person keeps 250 megs of emails? or even 100 megs? The most I've ever had was something around 8 megs, and that's because I just didn't d/l a couple of attachments for a while...but overall...Wow...
