I just checked my email and hotmail says I am using 1% of my 250MB available. Am I drunk? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Anyone else have this going on?

    At this point, mine still says I'm using xx% of 2MB. I've been waiting since the summer to finally get more storage.
    Hope it happens in the next few days.

    It has been much nicer to have a gmail account with its 1000MB of storage. I don't get a ton of stupid advertisements either.
    Tschüss

    No trick man, I had this 250mb size since last april...Yahoo mail gave me 100meg of storage 30 days before that...on both accounts, you can send attached file up to 10 meg now...:)

    YAHOO!

    I ditched my hotmail acct. over a year ago, or should I say they ditched me.

    I was on vacation for three weeks, and hadn't checked my email for a week or so before I left.
    When I returned and tried to log on, I found out I was locked out of my acct. because I hadn't checked it in 30 days.
    They offered to re-open my acct. for me, (nice guys that microsoft are) but for $30.
    $30. to re-open my free acct. Couldn't even get my address book or anything without paying them first. I said #*! them.

    I went to yahoo, never looked back.
    No I don't work for yahoo, just found I get way less spam, and I can send and recieve pictures better.

    Gotta agree with this one. So much less spam with Yahoo. I kept my hotmail account for a long time, and didn't use it, and it just got MORE AND MORE spam u ntil it was pretty much unusable. I've had my yahoo account for 4+ years now and although it gets it's fair share of spam, it's nothing like hotmail.

    Simpler interface too.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
