GMail reaches 6 Gigs well before time

Back in October, the storage space on GMail had touched the 3 Gigabyte mark much to the delight of all mail users. Back then, the GMail folks had umm..errr…(for want of a better word) “predicted” that the storage space on GMail would effectively double i.e. reach 6 Gigabytes by January of 2008. But hey! Seems they’ve undershot their target…for on Christmas Day itself, GMail’s counter ticked over to the magic mark of 6 GB!

But I’ve noticed one curious thing: When one opens the GMail sign-in page in the browser, just as the page loads the storage space counter shows 2757 megabytes and when the page does load fully, the counter changes over to 6066 megabytes. Anyone else see the same err..umm…anomaly?
