Yahoo Ups Mail to Match Google's Gig

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-good-for-them dept.

Bruce Young writes "Yahoo said late Tuesday that it will provide 1 gigabyte of storage for each free e-mail account. The current limit is 250 megabytes. The expanded storage which will be available in mid-April will enable Yahoo to catch up with online search engine leader Google. "

    With spending like this, exactly what are "conservatives" conserving?

    20 Mb attachments? Good Lord. I intend to permanently blacklist anyone who sends me a 20M attachment. No one knows how to use FTP anymore, and I have enough trouble with friends that insist on sending me full 3600x2400 pixel digital photos at 1.5 Mb.

    I'm still on dialup (and will be until I finish school and have a salary again) and all those attachments get erased at the server. Life is too short to spend downloading stuff that big and no one seems to be interested in learning how to use tools like email and MIME attachments effectively.

    Or maybe it's just my friends.
