alt Hacker NewsI remember the magic that was 1GB (and "infinite" because it kept slowly growing) email storage back when Hotmail gave you maybe 5MB. Crazy to think it was over 20 years ago.

I got my first gmail account in April 2004 (!)
Now it’s clearly time to move on.
When GMail launched, there was loads of wrappers people wrote to use it as a file store instead of E-Mail, because it was so much for the time....
But now E-Mail, like the rest of the internet is so damn heavy, 1GB gets eaten up in no time.
