time has proved the opposite true. Photobucket used to be 2GB free, you pay for more and you pay for more bandwidth. Now 20 GB and unlimited bandwidth is free. On Tuesday, May 5, 2015 at 12:25:35 PM UTC-5, tarik...@gmail.com wrote: Like I said before, these were email lists, they are not

I think the other issue with attaching large photos is many people are getting emails on their phones and have bandwidth limits. My own is unlimited so generally not a problem, but when we were on the road March/April my husband and I relied on our phones as hotspots for our computers and we

I thought you could still look at old posts through the web interface? Or are these iBob posts that didn't come from Google Groups? On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 9:43 AM, David Yu Greenblatt david.yu.greenbl...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Jim, yes, it is almost all Gmail: 13.36 GB Gmail, 1.46 GB Drive, and

I took Tarik's point to be about longevity and reliablity, rather than cost. The web is ephemeral. If Flickr changes their file structure, or is the target of a sustained DOS attack, or Yahoo sells it off, my blog will lose 90% of its pictures. Future generations reading the BOB archives would

Like I said before, these were email lists, they are not really anymore, and we are not really going back, I will adjust, probably by participating even less than recently honestly... I would caution that relying on free storage for archiving posts and photos is dicey at best, even with the big

I use Gmail and subscribe to several email lists including iBOB and RBW (routing the messages directly to All Mail so my Inbox remains uncluttered). Recently I've been getting an alert from Gmail saying I am almost at my 15 GB limit for free storage. I would rather not pay Google a monthly fee for
