First of all, you should obviously support Mac, but for the time that you don't, you have to tell Mac users that you don't, and prevent them from signing up, prevent them from starting to upload files, etc. Because this is a sure-fire way to frustrate lots of your users who will not come back later.

And just like us, you probably want to do it all in ONE place, to have the freedom to share ANY type of information, and to have control over what you share and how you share it.

If esnips goes where we want it to go, and the model works for 1GB, than additional storage should be free too. I think that charging for stoage is not a good idea if you want to encourage sharing and publishing of content. If the model works, than we'll be the first ones to offer larger storage for free. Companies who charge for additional storage position themselves as sotrage companies. It may be a good business but that's not where we want to go. Bandwidth may be more of an issue, and we'll have to see as we go. So thanks for asking the question and giving me the opportunity to clarify this point. Hi Saul,
