I was so good at managing my 2MB, used at mst 78% of it. What the hell am I going to do with 125 times what I am used to?

Change is scary....

Finally! All three of my accounts got upgraded at the same time. I guess I don't need 3 accounts anymore though.

I finally got mine...but it is too late...I've already got an address at Gmail and I like the service better. I still use the hotmail for junkmail and whatnot...but I don't think it will ever become my primary internet email ever again.

I've had mine since 96 and I have a 100 MB. I had updated my settings when i was in the UK...perhaps if I had stuck to my US settings Id have 250 now?

oh well.

I have a hotmail account that is over 5yrs old and is at 2MB. Junk mail is considered part of that limit.
I have a hotmail account that is only 6 months old and is 2mb. Junk mail is NOT considered part of that limit.

How does one get 250MB?

:)
