Do you think? I kind of liked the symmetry - Colin with his software, hardware and second hand SAMs is the closest we have to a major SAM company in its heyday, so the .com fits him. Similarly, our .org is a non-profit making organisation, the sort of community run SAM site. I thought it worked quite well, although I see what you're saying. > What sort of bandwidth do people think it would use?

I had a long think about hosting and our options and ways of doing it on the cheap but in the end I thought it would be nice to spend a fiver a month and get our own meaty bandwidth etc and not worry about taking advantage of other people's generosity or the site suddenly going down etc. > Note to Gavin: I'm not trying to take over here; if you'd rather host it > yourself I won't be offended :) I wouldn't think you're trying to take over, I would really hate it if people thought of this as my pet project because I honestly think it's 100% a sam-users thing. :) Gavin
