Google predicts my life to be very short

Gmail claims "you'll never need to delete another message" but I'm 9 months in, and I've used 12% of my 1GB. A little math will tell you that I've only got 5.5 more years left, according to Google.

Unless Google has some nefarious plan to rid the world of email in 5.5 years, and I'll be stuck at 98% usage or so, forever...

Or possibly they just haven't thought that far yet, and will worry about it when the first person (with real usage) hits 75% or so, and then they can devise a plan to deal with it. (which will likely be to postpone that by increasing sizes to 2GB or 5GB or whatever, as I'm sure storage will be that much cheaper in 5.5 years).

Or, maybe that's just a marketing slogan, and when my space fills up they'll say "so, what did you expect for free?".

Mine is already 34% full. I've started trashing things I'm never ever going to want to see again.

But I do use it as a handy way to archive yahoogroups messages, since the yahoogroups search is so horribly bad.
