Outdated GMail UI

I ain't sure if GMail is out of its beta or not yet. I just found an inconsistency on their interface, or just an outdated line.

When you empty the trash, you will saw "No conversations in the Trash. Who needs to delete when you have over 2000 MB of storage?!". Up to today, my mailbox is already 6253 MB. Larger than my first laptop's harddisk (6.4GB). Obviously, the "2000" is not updated for quite a period of time. But that line was cleverly written to avoid this issue. It uses the word "over". But I bet it would be better to update it to "5000" to further emphasis their large mailbox, as nowadays, Hotmail and Yahoo also offer 2GB e-mail for free.
