:frown: :frown: :frown:

How come EVERYONE else gets an invite and I don't? This is like seriously uncool you know!

Anyway, Evo, my present mail system is a 10MB system and it limits itself to 4MB attachments. Yeah I know Hotmail etc. got more space but the one I'm currently using is VERY user friendly and Hotmail etc. attract a lot of spam. As with Monique, files DO get big and having a tiny liccle account like this is seriously uncool.

How do you get to have giant Hotmail accounts ? Mine is a pathetic 1 MB account, and never seems to get any bigger...
 
  • #40
I already had some extra storage, and they just sent me an email :biggrin: :biggrin:
As a valued MSN Hotmail Extra Storage subscriber, we will be upgrading your storage capacity to a massive 2GB with 20MB attachment size at no extra cost to you!
I'm sure they found a loophole to lure people into paying massive charges without knowing it :rolleyes: but for now I can enjoy it :)

Oy, I'm always the uncool, technologically backward one. Still don't want or need Gmail :-) Monique, I have server limits on my work accounts too, but I just move important email off the server...all it takes is one server failure in the wrong place, and *poof* no more important emails. The last university I worked at made it a policy to NOT back-up email servers. They didn't want the responsibility or expense of dredging through years and years and years of back-ups in case the files were subpoenaed for some reason. On the other hand, we do get a fairly large web server space to upload files for sharing...not huge, but large enough that the stuff I can't email can be put where someone can download it. Though someone got into our servers one night and deleted almost everyone's files (we also have spaces for sharing files internally, and that's what they got to)...took about a week to restore everything from the back-ups.

Ahhh, backups..

Doing analysis on my work, everything accidentally got deleted (programming languages :S) and the work needed to be reloaded from a backup of which there were several. But.. the wrong backup got loaded, the wrong backup file overwrote the good file on the backup so I was left with only backups of old work :S

It took me a week to reenter all the data into the database from notebooks :O (and I'm a well organized person). Luckily it wasn't me who deleted and later overwrote the good file :P

THis is a sad, sad thread. Full of people slobbering and fretting over something that will be outmoded in a year. I haven't read such childish yabbering since I forsook the TD sub-forum two months ago. I'm disappointed.

Um. THere aren't any other invites there, are there? No?

Stupid gmail.

Wouldn't want it even if you begged me.

Stupid, stupid gmail.
