for a terabyte email account on google?

It would certainly help anybody who wants email lots of video files. (But isn't there some limit on the size of files that can be sent via email?)

I don't think there is a theoretical limit but in practice most ISPs will impose some limit.

4MB+ isn't unusual ... take a few of those to get to a terabyte

Baaad idea. I predict that pretty soon, warez monkeys will start trading illegal software via email.

Behind time are we? :) People have been trading things like that since AOL 2.5 came out, AOL has been used to e-mail warez for years, Also I other home based ISP's e-mail service, Yahoo! and Google have send limits, as do web based e-mail providers.. So warez via e-mail is not a new thing.

No flaming, just information post.

Interesting. I've already seen a bunch of people on message boards state that they used/used to use AOL "for warez". How does/did using AOL make it easier to download warez?
