I found this on the net, and I must say it's a pretty cool program. I think they had it on Slashdot but I'm not sure. So I thought I'd show everyone. It turns your gmail account into a virtual 1gig HD. This is great for backing up programs and files. The only problem is that you can't transfer more then 10mb at a time and no filenames more then 40 characters long. So if your wondering what to do with those extra invites you have just make one of them into a HD!

Yeah, I was gonna use this. But it seems so shaky, and I don't really see the point, lol :-/. Plus 1 gig honestly isn't all that much to me, mostly because I can't put anything over 10 megs on it...still, it is a cool concept :)

I do belive that Mozillia and Firefox are 'better'. It worked for me and I use Firefox, and I know 1 gig may sound small but it's a decent amount if you wish to backup important docs or pictures, that's what I'm using it for.
