While there are ways to squeeze more files into the standard NeXT-specific  
FTP sites, I also like the idea of just buying some more room.  The other  
methods would also be very welcome, but I don't believe it's fair to expect  
everyone (the archive maintainers in particular) to spend increasing amounts  
of time and energy trying to stuff more things into the same amount of  
space.

I'd be willing to send some money to both the purdue gang and the  
cs.orst.edu gang to get some more real live disk space.  If enough people  
sent something like $10-$20 (to each archive), they should be able to get  
some extra disk space to alleviate the crunch.
