The problem is useers who NEED those huge.doc and huge++.ppt files
to do their job, and for "how I did that class" or "what did I quote them"

Hmm- maybe the storage industry is slipping plants into Microsofts planning
sessions to get larger files to sell more tapes and libraries. --- :)

Alas. These days, when just about everybody sends mail in HTML
format, it is customary to send HUGE .doc files back and forth and
nobody ever deletes any old mail, it is not that uncommon.

Just an example from our mail server (ca 300 users):

root@data2:/data# du -h --max-depth=1 | grep MAIL
21G     ./MAIL

Good grief Toomas! Can you not institute a mail box size limit, about 10 megs maybe?
