ALE.org has been moved to a new server with a hopefully faster hardware
platform. The old PII VA donated to ALS back in the last millenium just
wasn't cutting it any more.

I want to thank E^DeltaCom for providing our complementary hosting. 

Now, for the discussion topic. Someone already has created a GmailFS
module for the kernel (actually it sits in userland and interfaces to
the kernel with FUSE). I want to use Gmail as a low level disk
partition. This way I can get multiple gmail accounts, and LVM them into
one larger FS. Or even better with Earthlink and Yahoo offering or soon
to offer their own gigmail services, maybe even stripe them across
multiple providers and then LVM them into one large FS. 

This is my cheap way of backing up my 250GB MP3 Collection.

Chris
