A Terabyte of Email

| 2 Comments

From the bottom of my gmail inbox: "You are currently using 0 MB (0%) of your 1000000 MB."

What?! I now have 1 Million Megabytes (1 TERAbyte) of storage space instead of 1 GIGAbyte? All I can say is WOW....

that's either a mistake or a VERY generous system! LoL

Update: Oh, looks like it was "just a bug", at least according to a news story on Yahoo from Reuters.

But... I am not sure how a bug can give me 1000 times more storage. The storage is virtual and not physical right? Who knows if my mail is even on one machine, or spread out over the entire Google server farm. Surely the line on the bottom of the page is hardcoded to some extent. How can that big of a mistake show up?

Oh well, not that I have any idea what I am talking about here. All I know is that I just checked and it looks like the fun is over: I'm back to 1 gigabyte... sigh... :)
