Andrew’s Mac Tips Weblog

Uh oh!

I’m rapidly running out of space!

My ISP allows me 10 megs of free web space, and the Mac Tips site so-far takes up about 9 of those 10 megs. Pretty soon there won’t be any more room for new content.

I could investigate paying for more room, but compared to the massive amounts of free space for, say, email at Google, what these guys would charge me for a mere five megs is truly exorbitant.

Besides, I Really hate spending actual money (just look at the amount of freeware that I review).

What I’m looking for, is about 5 to 10 megs on someone’s server, where I can easily ftp the screenshot files that are used in my Quick Reviews. I briefly looked at Picasa albums, where it’s possible to link directly to a stored image — but those images are arbitrarily resized — making that option a no-go.

If you know of a reliable benefactor that might provide some free space to a non-profit service like mine, please let me know; I could sure use the headroom.

Many Thanks

“I’ve seen so many plastic-panelled laptops that have been knocked off desks and ended up with cracked cases or - worse - broken screens or - even worse - damaged hard drives, yet my faithful aluminium-clad PowerBook G4 took many such tumbles with only scratches and scrapes to show for it. All the time it remain entirely functional. Tell a lie, the optical drive slot got bent once, so I couldn’t insert discs, but a quick push with a flat-bladed screwdriver sorted that one out. You can’t do that with plastic. And the screws don’t fall out either…”
