Now, see, I didn't even check for the correct error. I played by the rules and pulled up the calculator and got row size and got your first set of numbers (page size per row) and figured out how big the table was, and looked for "error" and stopped. I didn't even check that it was the exact error you'd get. So that'd be one on me then!
To clarify my previous reply, I think you (and everyone else who selected the error option) deserve the point. Not getting a point for a nitty gritty difference in the error message is, in my opinion, not in the spirit of the QotD. The question should test your understanding of SQLL Server, not your reading skills.
FYI, I have sent Steve a PM requesting him to award points back to everyone who chose the error option, and to change the question to specify a 3.5 GB data file (so that now the error message is no longer correct).
