GMail as a hard drive
« on: January 04, 2007, 12:00:28 pm »
'Cause you can.

Windows:
http://www.viksoe.dk/code/gmail.htm

Mac:
http://gdisk.sourceforge.net/

Linux:
http://richard.jones.name/google-hacks/gmail-filesystem/gmail-filesystem.html

Pretty cool, considering GMail can hold nearly 3gb's of email.

Yeah, I remember this being posted a long time ago too.  However, with my demonstration in the other topic, it could have been this summer. :P
