Ah but I have just seen this:

Google Gulp
Last year, speculators thought Google's promise of 1GB free storage to accompany Gmail was an April Fool's joke. Turns out it wasn't. So most folks are shying away from saying that the company's announcement this morning that it will jack up that storage level to 2GB is anything less than serious.
That's not to say that Google doesn't have a prank kicking around its Web site today, though. I read about it in a story on The Washington Post Web site, but for the full experience go straight to the source.

Its a counter. Go to www.gmail.com and look on the left. It says "2064xxxxxx bytes of free storage (and counting)." Its gonna keep going up, and we keep getting more memory. Anyone actually used up 2GB to see if all the mem. is authentic? Any predicions at what it is going to stop at? 2GB is 2048 MB. We all have more than that.
