Kevin Rose Load Tests Gmail
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)."
In other news, posters load test Slashdot by refreshing the first page and competing for first post!

Why don't you embrace your slashbotness instead of living in a dreamworld?

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 :)
Someone send an invitation my way, please. (zos@linux[nospam]mail.org)
I'd be willing to trade something even!(software, music, something along those lines)
Thanks!
