if you bypass the inbox and save files in Draft in gmail, you can go over the 10MB limit, however...I'm not sure how much more over the limit you can go. I saved a 45 MB attachment there for a short period of time.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

here's another idea if the computer you want to send the file to (and the computer sending the file) will be attached to the internets for awhile:
foldershare.com
this is fucking awesome and the file (and whatever else you put in the shared folder) will be copied over to the friend's computer.

foldershare.com looks interesting. You've used it, LeNub? I'll ask my friend if he wants to give it a go.

I maintain a .mac account and use my iDisk for moving large files like that. It works nicely cross platform, but it is a paid service. $99/yr I think. The default is 1 GB of storage and I have the upgraded 2 GB service. It's been a life saver for me.

Jon, I use it every day to link my home computer and my office computer. I put files in a folder on my office computer and it sychronizes the folders across both computers. I think it works really well.
Microsoft just bought it, so use it while it is still free.

Have you heard of anyone getting an "Assertion Error" when it tries to go to the web page to log in to your account? That just happened to my friend, although we haven't tried to share anything yet (and I haven't even installed it at my end yet).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

An assertion is a programming tool where essentially the programmer is saying, "I expect things to be like this at this point - if they're not, let me know." So it's not really an error in the usual sense, but it does mean that the program did something (had some result, etc.) that was not expected or the programmer thought should not happen.

Anyone besides me having trouble getting into gmail today? Google itself works fine, as do all other URLs.
