Hotmail offers interesting definition of 'unlimited'

Signed in to my Hotmail this morning to see a link suggesting to upgrade (ie pay) to have a 2GB account, which is described as 'almost unlimited storage space'.

well, 2GB is a lot of emails I guess, but either there is a limit, or there isn't. how can something be almost unlimited?

I guess what they st mean is that for most people, 2GB will accommodate everything they ever receive.

they clearly haven't seen my inbox.

That would suggest you have well over 15,000 emails....

@Peter:

True, I was just estimating based on my inbox.

terms like 'unlimited' and 'free internet access' are just marketing ploys to lure unsuspecting consumers...
