- Something around 100-150 Meg for each day of backlog you want to keep seems
- to be a reasonable rule of thumb. I wouldnt recommend keeping
- less than 3 days or you lose news if you dont read over
- a long weekend. Of course the news feed is always growing in size.
- Doubling every two to three years or so is a fair guess.

- Good luck.
