In April 2004 Garrett French of Web Pro News wrote a post about Google’s announcement of GMail – which, in Google’s “loose, freewheeling” style, fell just before April Fool’s Day.
“How long,” French scoffed, “would it take before that ocean of email burst from the Google server farm and sank Washington?”
