If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
I now have a Gmail account at jakeortman, thanks to Ken. Have yet to play with it, but it's never a bad thing to have that kind of storage sitting out there. Update 6/17: I got a couple more invites over night, so I'm now jakeortman and utterlyboring. So if you ever need to send me big ol' files, you're welcome to fill either of those accounts.

Jake said on 06/16/04 @ 10:21 PM: Indeed I did, but like I said before, I now have a place to dump large files.

How about I download The Matrix movie and email it to you? :)
Jake said on 06/17/04 @ 01:31 PM: Feel free to send me something fun. :-)
Brian Woodward said on 06/18/04 @ 07:46 AM: Ken gave me the other invite and I enjoy gmail very much. However, I sent myself an email with a 106MB attachment from my work account, which supposedly lets any size through, but I haven't received it yet. I'm thinking this is a problem on my work account and not gmail.
