 With 50 Gmail accounts you've got a hundred gigs of storage.  Add in 
 the gmailfs and you can ditch your hard drive and boot off of Gmail.  
 Let them worry about backup. :)

And yet another monitor gets coated with droplets of beverage ... LOL!

Not to get all technical and stuff (we are geeks mind you), but since 
google is adding space continually according to the login page(ie: the 
running counter), I would presently have 104 gig of space considering 
the 2078 MB of storage they are alloting ( and the counter keeps 
scrolling ).

 I've got 50 Gmail invitations in case anyone is interested. Email me
 off-list, if so.


That makes about 150 available from the 3 of us who thus announced :)

So, every member  their family members  pets can have their 
own gmail accounts.  ;-)

I just don't know 50 people who want a Gmail account. Damned if 
I know who sent me an invite. I figured I'd use it for the 
throwaway email addresses and see how that works.

It's not like I need yet another email address to monitor.
And, yes, this is off-topic. My bad...

 I'm down to 40 invites.  It's interesting that I've had 5-6 and one
 day I suddenly have 50.

I've got 50 as well.  I don't use it for posting, but rather, it's an
e-mail list archive for me :) All the lists I belong to are sub'ed to
this one address, and I use it for quick searching, since most lists'
archives rather suck.  Gmail has, rather obviously, fantastic search :)

  Me three.
  You want lots of Gmail invites, sub the address to some mailing lists. 
Google apparently bases it on mail volume, and doesn't care if you almost 
never send mail.

That's apparently what happened to me, as I mentioned, I use it for

If Tom runs out, I have 50.  I have used Gmail for 5 months and have not 
seen a single spam.  It caught a few false positives, but quickly 
learned that it was mail I wanted and automagically adjusted the filter.
