I still remember the day I switched from Yahoo Mail to GMail just because Google was offering the unheard of 1GB versus the 20MB limits I was use to. Today I looked down at the bottom of my email and saw this:
Was pushing 90% and had already bought the extra 10 GB Google sells. Wow, now I’m not even at 10% even though I have uploaded all my old email to Gmail (15 years worth) a while back and have over 20,000 messages.
It’s nice to get free upgrades every once in a while.
UPDATE: about 30 seconds after I posted this, I got an email from Google that says the 80GB is for the $20 I already pay for Extra storage (it was only 10GB before). Still nice.
