Bill Gates’ inbox, by numbers
This Bill guy must be a very popular person, ain’t he? 
The entire article is stolen below.
————————
4 million is the number of emails Bill Gates receives every day, according to buddy Steve Ballmer, speaking in Singapore.
19 Nov 2004, 09:44 GMT -
2.9 million is the number of spam messages Gates gets every day.
2,778 is the number of emails Gates gets every minute.
2,033 the number of spams Gates gets every minute.
10,000 - Gates is the recipient of more than one out of every 10,000 emails sent by anybody anywhere in the world.
34 days is how long it would take Bill to download a day’s worth of spam to Outlook, if it (generously) took just one second per message.
22 weeks is how long it would take Bill, working solidly without breaks, to manually delete one day’s spam.
458 is the number of people, working 8-hour shifts, Bill would need to hire to delete that spam manually each day.
1.2 terabytes is the disk space needed to store a month of Bill’s spam.
460 gigabytes is the disk space needed to store all of Bill’s non-spam email, given the company’s alleged 30-day email retention policy.
Sources: Steve Ballmer (Bill’s big inbox), Postini Inc (73.2% of email
is spam), IDC (4 to 5 seconds to delete a spam), Yahoo! Inc (average
email size is 15K), MX Logic Inc (31 billion emails are sent per day),
Burst.com Inc (Microsoft’s 30-day retention policy).
