Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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?
BTW, there are other services you might like:

fileai.com
dropsend.com
yousendit.com (quite a few people like this service)
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?
Jon,
here is their June announcement. This is not a joke:

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.
excellent. would you let me know what you finally decide? I'm curious.
Any suggestions on a laser printer that works well with Macs.
I have a brother HL2040

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.
