so, all you need to do is buy the rapids and that will get you the RS acct for however long. I think I've been buying it for 3 months at a time.

"However long"? How long is "however long"?

Someone will be uploading one 650MB file per week (although they may upload a few weeks worth at one time). I will then be downloading those same files. How many Rapids do I need to do that?

Aha! I think I found it: 495 Rapids == 30 days of RapidPro.

Their pricing explanations used to be worse, believe it or not.

I don't believe it.

Jon,

is this something you will need to do for years? a year?

That's astounding.

le nube, I probably don't want to commit to more than 6 months to a year.

Thanks for those links, by the way. I'm going to play around with the free version of dropsend.com. If that doesn't meet my needs, both they and transferbigfiles.com have $5/month options that may suffice.

It looks like the free version of megaupload takes about 2 hours to upload one of the typical files I'll be receiving, so that's the benchmark I'm testing against.

Any suggestions on a laser printer that works well with Macs.

I have a brother HL2040 [link]

It's USB, it's plugged into the USB jack on the Airport Extreme wi-fi router. I can print from my iMac, from my Win7 laptop, and work MacBook Pro with no problem at all. I don't do a lot of printing. But it works great for me. I got an older version of this for old job, and it was about 2 years before I had to replace the ink cartridge. Again, not a ton of printing, but a heck of a lot more than I do at home.
