Are you sure ?
My Apache logs are around 180 MByte per day...

How large are these files when apache stops writing, in M or G not pages. I
hope you're not actually going to host a live site on windows ME? The file size
limit is most likely coming from Windows ME restricting filesize, not apache's
ability to write to larger files. On *nix systems, i've seen apache logs easily
~2G before there was a problem...and that problem only arose because that was
the limit of the file size on the filesystem.
