The metric system for measurment while very similar to that of computational measurment is not exactly the same. Because 1 kilometre truly is 1000 metres and not 1024 metres.




Hardly, if you want to consider me getting "tricked" go ahead but thats not what happened. Besides thats the point anyways word of mouth (via forums ect.) is much better than them just opening up a e-mail service and people opening up accounts then not using them. I know too many people that do exactly that with hotmail and yahoo.




Like mobomojo said in an earlier post, its easier to assume things than to go to www.gmail.com and CHECK IT OUT. jeezz



Since you dont get it, its still in the Beta stage of development. So for right now its invite only basis that way they can get feedback and fix the bugs and such before the final version goes out.


When gmail goes completely to the public it will blow away any other e-mail service hands down.

can i have a gmail accoutn my email is ret123ina@yahoo.com

Also, what the hell is so good about a gig if nobody will use all that empty space? Google will have problems in the future because they "Won't have enough space". I don't even reach the hotmail limit myself so gmail is useless. There's absolutely no use for it.

die you non uploader!

The only reason you'd need that is if your a pack-rat and keep every E-Mail you get. I don't think anyone does that.

DUH, he said a gig was 1000, and you even put that in the topic title. I was proving you wrong, it's kinda my thing. I'm uber good at math, Did algebra 1 in 6th grade, believe it or not.

I read that somewhere, and thought it was true, so I didn't feel the need to check.

Some how I doubt that, the best things get the least attention. Like everyone says AIM is better than MSN, while MSN is better. Same with Yahoo, and Hotmail.

Aim is better in most ways, even though I use trillian, and most of my contacts are on msn. Anyway, when I did use hotmail, I would always be over the storage limit. Now I don't really care about what I save. I also store videos and files in my email now. Its a really good service, I got invited in May, I think, and I already have 120mb of stuff in there.

Well you know thats only you, there are a lot of people that use much past the hotmail limit. So its only useless for people like you that hardly use e-mail, you wouldnt be the type of person they are aiming for.



What are you basing this off of ? I have seen a lot of attention about gmail. In fact every forum site Im a member at has one of these exact threads and cnd countless more at other sites. So I think gmail is getting plenty attention.




It has little to do with being a pack rat, some people believe it or not actually get important e-mails so they not want but need to keep them. The point with gmail is that you dont have to delete your e-mails.



Well thats your problem for believing it, dont assume something is true unless you get it from the official site.

I read it on a bunch of sites, I guess they removed it or something.

How can they use past the hotmail limit if you can't go past it?

...ok?

I have about 100 messages kept in my Yahoo E-mail, and I'm using about 500KB. You don't need that much space. Also, whoopdie do if you think that every E-Mail you get is improtant, besides if I have no more space, theres a thing called a hard-drive and encryption.

Put it this way, gmail is only good if you don't know how to use the "block" function and get a lot of spam mail. It's also only good if you don't know how to keep your email tidy. COUGHdeletefunctionCOUGH

Oh and I do use my email a lot. It's just you who probably keeps signing up for newsletters(AKA: spammy bull ). -_-

Im sorry but you didnt get what I meant at all. But let me put it differently, Some people get a lot of e-mail that is actually important. Since that e-mail is important they need to keep it for whatever reason, or they may simply not feel like deleting every e-mail they get when it gets too full. Which of course happens quite fast with hotmail.

Oh and seeing as how the average e-mail user doesnt delete an e-mail right after they read it it takes up space. Gmail gives you the choice of not deleting it if you choose to.



When did I say one thing about signing up for newsletters ? or even one word about me. A newsletter is only spam if you didnt sign up for it smart one. What do you consider using your e-mail a lo,t 5 a day ? pshh

I doubt anyone gets THAT much "important" email... I get email from friends, other people, whatever. 5 a day means what? 5 donuts a day? 5 cookies a day? 5 kiwis a day? Huh??










There ya go. Just interviewed some random people from this site. It proves they do not need gmail, nor do they reach the hotmail limit.

CheatER! I said



SO BLAH!!!

You don't need to upload really large things for an email... wow, some text, what are you trying to upload? Your Starcraft folder?

I upload music, my friend sent me some large files...etc. ^_^ too bad the limit is only 10 megabytes, which if the file i want to upload is over that, i steal my friends server XD

OMG I got invited, but how do you log in? they gave me a link that never loads!http://gmail.google.com/gmail

By the way, with my @staredit.net email I get 20 gigs.

Owned

But Yoshi, its not like you're going to give out invitations!

Edit 1: At least I haven't heard about any giveaway staredit.net emails...

Edit 2: Dope! Donate! I'm not even old enough to go to court as a juvenile!
And let's not talk about my parents....

Edit 3: What's the site to login for Gmail?

so if we create a email with @staredit.net...we can have 20 gigs? intersting...I'll donate 20 bucks for that

No, I dont give them away. Plus people who actually get it get 5 megs of space.

I need to conserve that space for future hosting oppertunities.

The link keeps redirecting itself back and forth...Gmail

You act as if asking a few members (I count 4) somehow represents the greater spectrum of e-mail users across the world.

Besides whats your point ?

Like I said its a choice you can shoose to delete you e-mails but you dont have to. You keep missing that part...

I don't know about other people, but I've transferred single files using gmail that hotmail's 3mb (right? or is it 5) limit wouldn't have recieved. It also means I can keep all my sent emails with attachments and I don't have to upload them again, I can just forward the email to someone who wants the file and the google server takes care of sending the file.

I'm still only using 14MB currently, but the point is that I don't have to delete the huge attachments, so I can also retrieve them from any computer I want at any point.


I have a couple invites if anyone here still wants one. If you don't tell me your name I'll just make up something offensive and you'll be stuck with it

How do you give away invitations?
