Well, always discussing about Google. Google is a giant, it is some kind of a modern miracle. I used to try yahoo and messenger, but gmail has stuck me into it definitively and I am spending less time on gmail. I have currently used 28 mb out of 7364. I can imagine google can have an entire building with servers and also different buildings in other places out of USA.

firstly 2000 terrabytes is not enough to store everything ever said. I know you were exadgerating. But, a couple of years ago, it was estimatred 4 exobytes of information was generated every day!
I would imagine the google have more than 2000 terrabytes of storage. Their server farms are huge. But most large email or web hosting providers dont have enought space for all of their members, because they know most people will only use a fraction of their limit. Its a feature in some web hosting that the company actually as enough space for all their accounts - a reliability feature. But if they came close to using all of their storage, they would probably upgrade things pretty fast.

This is what google rely on. I doubt many people actually use their limit. I am using only a few megabytes of storage on my Gmail account, although I rarely use it.
They do have huge buildings full of servers called server farms, they have several of them in different locations.

_ Google , Hotmail , Yahoo , Youtube , Facebook , Twitter , Hi5 and more social networking webs are the webs given by Government for free to the people.
We ain't talking about Godaddy , Ipage or some usual hosting / domain controller.
Every country in this earth pays for those webs although we people do not know about it.
The system is made by other people but the equipments and services are alimented by Government.
It does have a huge space and as well as HUGE bandwidth.

Mmmh, maybe google secretely invented unlimitrd space harddrives for their servers? 
But, I think its quite reasonable that they offer 2 gb... it would ocost arraund 2$ per accaunt (300 gb harddrive with 150 accaunts) fo space, and it doesnt create so much bandwith due to the smooth and fast interface, also I think it preloads the site so I think its only downloaded 1 time every visit

True, but that's because they use AJAX and other URL-Encoded programming languages to get their content behind the scenes. There's no need to refresh or reload the page every time. Plus, a good browser should cache a lot of it anyways. Not to mention it's simply... well... simple

What can you possibly do with 6 gigs of space? You have your whole hard drive all zipped up and uploaded or what?

Are you guys from 2002? That's nothing. Google has hundreds of server farms around the world with 25 petabytes of data processed each day.
The gmail system might work like an insurance company: the available space per user isn't 7647 megabytes, but some users will use that much if they just save all of their emails for searching (like me) some users will never work up to that point, but google is making 7 billion in profits, they don't give a *BLEEP* about adding a few more servers.
