my dad loves dropbox. he would be lost with s3. for most people it's not "arguably value added"; it's the difference between possible and not.

(another vote for a log scale (or something equivalent, like a separate "units" that sets the scale to 1s, 10s, 100s...). also, the tick marks should be on reasonable, round values)

Right. And the topic of this thread is a price matrix for S3. Presumably your Dad is not going to be looking at it.

then maybe you should have said something along those lines earlier, instead of repeatedly asserting that s3 and dropbox are equivalent (and then asking if you'd missed anything).

Do you read carefully? When I asked if I missed anything I was referring to anything besides the arguable "value add". My apologies if that was not clear. But the value add is precisely what you focused on, and argued (predictably): the python, rsync and the icon. I'm asking about the S3 component.
