I wonder if that wouldn't be really inefficient, though, depending on
how you store data. Is one user's data all on one machine? What
happens when that drive or machine breaks? I think that if you want
reliability and redundancy, which gmail will have to have, you'll need
to have some sort of "enterprise level" (man, I hate that buzzphrase!)
storage solution.
