Google announces Gmail, April 1, 2004

I know many of us were fooled.

wasn't there a good april fool's thread last year? i can't remember.

Yup and today's Google Fools Day joke is them upgrading all the accounts to 2GB.

They could still cancel Gmail at any time, and then I would laugh heartily as it truly was an April Fools joke!

However, this seems unlikely. Alas.
