Hi All,
Found this article in the Wall Street Journal, Friday May 14, 2004:
*****************************************************
Yahoo Inc. said it would greatly increase the amount of free
storage available to its e-mail users, following a high profile
initiative by rival Google Inc. Yahoo senior vice president Jim Brock
told an analyst conference in San Franciso that starting this summer,
non-paying Yahoo mail users would receive 100 megabytes of free e-mail
storage. That is a 25-fold increase from the four megabytes that new
users receive now. Users who pay for Yahoo services, such as "premium"
e-mail, will have "virtually unlimited" storage, he said. The
unlimited-storage offer will include partners that offer high-speed
Internet access, such as SBCCommunications Inc. Yahoo now charges $49.99
a year for 100 megabytes of e-mail storage, plus additional services such
as anti-virus tools. The move follows Google's high profile test of its
Gmail e-mail service, which includes one gigabyte of free storage. A
gigabyte is 1,000 megabytes.
****************************************************
So, all one needs to do is get one account with Yahoo (which I already
have), and one account with Google G-mail (which is not yet available)
and one would have 200 megabytes of free e-mail storage. Sounds like it
would take a long time to fill that up.
