- 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.
