SishGupta writes "Load Testing Gmail - fillmybox@gmail.com A few weeks ago, Kevin Rose of the The Screen Savers decided to load test Google's new email service, Gmail. He asked everyone to email him their favourite 5MB attachments to 'fillmybox@gmail.com.' The test Gmail account is now 102% maxed out. You can read about the test and the results at Kevin Rose.com (his weblog)."

    Oh, I must be the only nerd on slashdot that doesn't have a gmail account yet. Since everybody's asking, would anybody mind sending a spare gmail invite to me?

    My (hopefully, soon to be obsolete) email addy is rohan_leader@hotmail.com

    Thanks so much :)
