Who the heck needs 100 GB of webmail storage? Hell, I don't even have that much storage on my computer. I must admit that a 500MB attachment filesize limit does intrigue me.
The funniest part of this is that it's being offered by HellaciousRiders.com. Yeah, it's a biker website :blink:
Although this isn't going to replace my Gmail account, you may begin sending me emails with outrageously large attachments to deebye@hriders.com.

They are definitely gambling on the idea that no one will ever use up that much space. I mean, it's practically impossible to store that much stuff using webmail. The largest cost for them is bandwidth, and I have no idea how they can afford it. Seeing as though they are bikers, I don't think I want to know.

Unless you make the mistake of posting your e-mail openly on any public forum and treat yourself to a 3-week vacation afterwards :-)

There was a memo circulated through the US Government and Military several years ago to stop sending unnecessarily large Power Point presentations when a simple document in word could get the point across. Much of the bandwidth was being eaten up by information made to look pretty instead of just the information.
