1GB of .mac for $50 more a year

I think the reality of the 1GB of web-hosted space offered through .mac didn't really hit me until I returned from my honeymoon with 87MBs of Hawaii pictures and not enough room to upload them for my family to see. My friend Jason
had mentioned that he had upgraded his account several weeks ago and was SCREAMING in iChat about what a great deal it was. I was happy about the upgrade from 100MB to 250MB when Apple originally announced the change, but still resentful about my original .mac email that was free under iTools holding me hostage for $99 a year when it switched to a pay system under .mac.  As a result, the jump to 1GB for $50 extra didn't really click in my head until now. Sure, I
could probably set up my own server with far more space on a Mac mini, but in the interum, $50 for my family in Mississippi to see the honeymoon is a steal.
