@zlo it definately exists. it's in the middle of a desolate sandy plain 2 days drive north east of the last turn before the next one. there's 1 road in and the same one out. 50 years ago there was a bright light in the sky which fell to earth 5 miles outside the town perimeter. for a very brief period, say 30 years, communications with the outside world were a little, well...non existent, so i'm not 100% on the full story. what i do know is that you can always tell one of the locals by the strange and as yet unexplained little pierce mark on the base of their spine.

sorry chips, i know it's home to you but it was just there to be said. truth be known having grown up in a city i'm probably a little jealous...just a little though.

i have trouble finding use for 50 megs let alone a tara besides the number of servers it would take to make that much space would not only pull enough power to brown-out the state of new york and would take thousands of ppl and dollars to opperate and maintain i say that this "site" is either pushing a load of bull or is full of it, it's just not practical for that much space to be offered for free the company would be belly-up overnight a gig is resonable if a little overkill, a tara is off-the-wall and out-in-left-field. to end my lecture thumbs down, scam but thats just my two cents, anybody have change for a one

Thats more space than I could ever use in a lifetime! Gmail's crazy, but that thing is INSAAAANE.

Umm
Okay
No, I can get 5 terabytes, but it requires work
and I'm lazy, (following Maddox)

Its like those websites offering 'unlimited bandwidth'. The offer is true - there is no real limit, as long as you don't use to much resources on your site (otherwise they close it down for you!). They bet on plenty of people signing up, but only using a few gigs a month of bandwidth. They offer more (150Gb on some), but if you enquire saying you will use that all each month, they will tell you they cannot have such a heavy user...............so why offer it?

Simply because people will sign up - they will never ever use it, but they will sign up.

Same here, you will never even get up to a Gb, hell - its email - I doubt you will get up to 100Mb at all - so its safe to say that their little sales gimmic is going to work out just fine (just like Gmails Gb!). Read all the small print, there are probabily some rules about use (like attachments cannot be saved onto your email server etc), which means the chances of using the space are greatly reduced.

Its probably shared space, 1Tb for all users.
Not unheard of, and higly likely

Post Wed Dec 15, 2004 4:36 am

that would make sense but wouldn't that allow you to rad other peoples mail

Post Wed Dec 15, 2004 9:13 am

No silly, you could only be able to acess your mail but you all used the same space on the server.

There is a benefit of this. The attachment size. When i transfer homework from home to school and vice versa, i can only go up to 10 megs. Some things with loads of photos can be 30 megs.
