Ah ha! memories
One company I worked with in 1995 had all traffic locked. Company
systems down.
A director had tried to send a document, over 60MB in size, and his
comment. "email is to send documents isn't it!".
In those days we had to have ISP disengage the account, destroy and then
restart!
Educate users to know how they can play before giving them toys with
which to play.


I had that recently, well about a year ago with a customer. They wondered why their holiday snaps didn't send (all 600MB of them!).

Well they would send, just not very quickly on a 1 Meg ADSL line with 256Kbit upload (of which 128Kbit was already used).
