Gmail Quota
When I got a Gmail invite in June 2004 (I did beg for it), I thought yaay 1GB worth of email that’s more than I could ever need. Today after emptying my trash, deleting spam and any other useless emails I realized I had filled 21% of my quota. I still have lots to go but I do delete emails which I find useless and not worth keeping yet I still have managed to accumulate 1.5 GB. I am not sure if that is because I like to keep good email or because I have lots of important attachments which I also like to have saved.
It reminded me of the time I bought my first 1GB harddrive many many years ago and I also thought at the time why on earth do I need all that storage for. After building a large collection of ebooks, the introduction of digital cameras and lots of good songs later, I now know that you will always find ways to fill up all that memory.
