Hi Rob,

No, I don't think I missed the point. That is exactly what we take 
advantage of. 

An interesting point is that it functions better with 64 bit VM. 
With 32bit VM, if you used a silly number greater than 2047M,  you got a 
different error message that did NOT show the maximum storage allowed.

And, no, I don't think it is cheating to use such a feature to tell a user 
the maximum facilities they are allowed to use in a user friendly way. 
After all it is the users that keep us in a job ;-)
