disk quotas

[cellio]

When I signed up for my current Unix shell account, the policy on disk space was "be reasonable". While looking up account features for a friend today, I noticed that this has changed; there is now a quota of 1 gig. Heh. I guess I can stop worrying about whether letting saved email pile up to 50 meg or so before clearing it out is bothering anyone. :-)

(Before you ask, there probably was email about the change; they're good about that. I probably just missed it, or wrote it off as "non-limiting" or something.)

Hmm..what do you pay per year?

[cellio]

$99. This is for shell with the usual features (email, usenet if you care, web space, even bots though I don't care, etc). You provide your own connectivity; you reach this through SSH etc. (They do have dialups too, I think for an extra fee, if you don't mind calling central Pennsylvania. They're mostly going after the folks with DSL who want a Unix account.) You can find out more here. If you sign up using this link then I get something like $5 off my next renewal -- but that's not why I'm mentioning them, and I won't be offended if you don't. $5 wouldn't get me to say good things about a bad product. :-)
