Isn't It IronicI dunno; I just thought this odd...insightful..ironic.
Below are snippets from (left) my Gmail account, and (right) my host for this site and other things. Look,
using the exact same disk space:
- Gmail cost = $0
- Host cost = $20+/mo

Yes, my host has CGI and other stuff, but it's basically (beyond Perl) an e-mail and post stuff site. PHP is run as a CGI (ich!), mySQL is recent and extra cost...
Sure, does more than Gmail....but look at the cost, and the functionality. I'm using Gmail instead of my site as a "file server in the sky" to digitally transfer stuff back and forth between work/home and so on.
I have a 100M limit on my site (site and e-mail).
I have a 2,000M limit on Gmail.
Things are getting interesting.....
