And that's why they the cutesie bar chart showing how Google could, if
the competition gave you infinite storage, go to infinity plus one.
They are being a little bit silly here, of course, since most people
won't get anywhere near these limits. Heck, I have only 129 MB filled
up so far. (And now...let's see...1591 MB total capacity. :-))
To be honest, I'd be way more interested in the extra gig if it were
webspace backed up by Google. That's not happening yet, though.
