The search engine giant Google Inc. (www.google.com) announced on April 1 that a year after unveiling its free e-mail service with a full gigabyte of storage, it is doubling the capacity of each account so that Gmail (www.gmail.com) users will be able to store up to 2 gigabytes of e-mail and attachments for each account.
Marissa Mayer, Google's director of consumer Web products, said that Google's goal is to make sure storage is no longer an issue for Web mail users, and that Google can offer so much capacity because of the way the company has set up its computer systems.
