The sign-up guide is good.. I find people get frustrated by not knowing the keys are 'inactive' till they have given cc details and Amazon has done a 'ghost charge' to check the card is live.. Not sure why they even show the keys at this stage? Regards TomC http://www.ezs3.com/blog/?p=169 Hi Colin

Nice overview

The para with the calculator doesn’t seem finished.. can’t tell if you are saving or losing!

The sign-up guide is good.. I find people get frustrated by not knowing the keys are ‘inactive’ till they have given cc details and Amazon has done a ‘ghost charge’ to check the card is live..

Not sure why they even show the keys at this stage?

I am wondering if you can check out my very own tool CloudBerry Explorer that helps to manage S3 on Windows . It is a freeware. http://cloudberrylab.com/ I always enjoy learning how other people employ Amazon S3 online storage.

Exactly who is it aimed at? With phones coming with 16GB storage, USB's with 32GB, laptops with 400GB who is going for Net storage? Distributed teams who want shared documents? All of them either go for corporate servers that offer backups, guaranteed access, etc etc or simply email them. BTW, Google Docs is already there for team documents. Any thing else such as databases, audio, video and such, I would never dream of my whole company trying to access even 10GB over the Net; the bandwidth demand would be astronomical.

You're limited on whatever your bandwidth is at the time (which in some hotels is terrible) and you're at the mercy of the company you are storing your data with as far as protection and privacy. My company (huge fortune 500) has pretty much banned all use of outside services (email included) for company business because of privacy reasons. Personally if I need to be able to work on a document anywhere in the world, I just use a USB stick. You get a couple gigs of data attached to your keychain that's always with you and lightening fast and always available when a network might not be (like on a plane...). Backup my computer??? I'm sure not doing it over DSL to some net storage service...that would take forever. Especially since I can get a small USB hard drive for $75 to back up to in less than an hour.
