Hehehe.. errmm.. 'oops'. OK, I was thinking in megs & writing gigs. It
should have been a max of 82,944meg/month or approx 82gig/month. That said
Craigs probably right you'd be lucky to get 80, but I can't think of many
things that could drive it to 100% saturation for a whole month (no examples
needed). :p
