As someone has already pointed out, disk storage is getting incredibly
cheap so why are we going in reverse on the storage quota issue?  This is
rather like the bandwidth issue, everyone might have a high limit but not
everyone will use it all.  But on those occasions that you may need that
high limit, it's nice to know that you can do it.

Of course, I'm biased on the issue of disk storage since I work for a
storage company and usually have around 500GB's of storage sitting around
me at work.  :)  Seriously though, storage is obeying Moore's Law as well,
every 18 months, the capacity of a given device is doubling for the same
cost.  Seagate Barracuda 9's are state of the art now but by this time
next year, Barracuda 18's will be available at the same price.  So why is
Best skimping?
