    That's a cool picture. Hard disk space underground. Lol... :D
    I think there will definitely be people using lots of space as I believe one person will have more than one account and the total space will took up more than 2gb of space.

    I doubt I have come anywhere close to Gmail's current limit, and I'm not sure if I ever will, that area is HUGE, and I only rarely recieve immages in the mail, mostly just text.

    Guys why you are fogetting that there is also a software "gamil drive", we can install this software and then a new drive named Gmail Drive will appear in our my computer and there we can upload our data by our gmail account and use the whole space.
    What u think ?
