I knew hard drive storage was cheap, but I didn't think it was that cheap. Freediskspace.com is offering 300Mb of storage for pretty much anything. They integrate with PCs, Macs, and Linux boxes, in addition to PDAs. That last one I find most curious, because I've never maxed out the storage space on my 2Mb palm pilot before. [thanks bump]

Just tried to sign up, but registration failed with an ASP error: "not enough disk space". Oh well.

I signed up for this service but alas when I try to upload anything it get an error that says "not enough disk space" and if I download from another person's account I always seem to get some sort of error message. Thus far I have yet get the thing to show any signs of true fuctionality.

I wonder if it was one of those hackers we're hearing so much about, having a laugh? ;-)

The press release they put out that generated the link on my part says they are signing up 8000 people a day. I probably should have thought about that a little 8000x 300= 2,400,000 Mb a Day.
