Yahoo has lived upto its promise. For many days I have been reading on the logon page "1 GB coming soon". This morning I thought that they keep harping on it without acting when I again saw 250 MB as maximum limit. By afternoon, this had become 1 GB. They still cannot catch up with the storage gmail gives but now it does not matter anymore.
I have plenty of gmail invites and I do not know what to do with those. I ignore them now.
