They've gone mad. Between my PCs, my home servers and my servers in the US I don't have a terabyte of space and they're giving away email accounts with that sort of capacity, sure I doubt anyone will ever use even a small proportion of what they're offering but still.... :|

even if the business picks up, they'll be out of business by the end of the year.

I don't really see that as being a problem for google as eventually they will probably offer virtual drives anyway, they could consider it a test run :|
Hriders greater problem would be if someone actually was able to use up a fair portion of the space they offer, like I said earlier, I don't even have that much space between 5 PCs and I can't think of how anyone could use 1TB of space, especially remotely but I guess theres always some wanker who will manage it and ruin the service for others.

I think there is only one TB and it's gived to all email accounts for users to segment that TB. Becouse i don't imagine where i can user 1TB for email :-) Or maybe it's just a commercial trick to attract people and that there be some advertise. :-)

its not 1 tb, most people wouldnt manage to fill even 2 GB, all the accounts are using shared space. its a market strategy, just like advertising free unlimited bandwidth
