I guess the folks over at Microsoft haven't been to a math class in a long time.

MSN Personal Address is now even better
All current MSN Personal Address customers will be automatically upgraded by the end of September to an improved MSN Personal Address subscription which includes:

250MB of Storage Space -- This is over 200 times the storage in your existing Personal Address account.





Hmmm.... I thought 200x2MB was 400MB of storage, but then again I'm not into the NEW MATH the kids use now days.

it's said to be 2 but you can't really get to it, ever.

Well 200 x 1.8MB should still give you 360MB not 250MB

Just saying that it appears that no one checked the validity of the marketing statement there.

Hey, doesn't matter who's email system you use now days SPAM get to them all. Some just have better filtering then others. But hey 100MB or 200MB is a heck of a lot better then 2MB. I use Hotmail to store files for me so that when I go to anyones house and they want or need repairs or other stuff I can easily get to it.

Maybe they are just testing you Doc Mine seems correct.
