S3 is certainly worth the price. I think in the 6 months I’ve had it, my bill has been under $5.

Ohh right, I’ve heard about Bandwagon and Jungle Disk, but didn’t know about the wordpress plugin. That’s really cool.

Well there is a plugin for Wordpress that uses S3 as your storage, and Bandwagon backups your iTunes to S3 as well. Don’t forget about Jungle disk.

Oh and I do have a Powerbook G3 (used to use it lot more about a year ago). I should look into those nice macbook pros.

I’ve heard a lot of the Amazon S3 and it really is a great idea. I’ve always been afraid of losing my precious data (pictures, etc). This is a great (and cheap, might I add) solution. People even use their Amazon S3 for hosting static content, which is a useful, too. Now that they’ve lowered the price even more, I think it’s time to go and try it out.
