So you're paying $1.05/month for them to run servers that expose  
standard protocols -- ssh/scp, http/webdav, ftp, and rsync. Seems like  
a reasonable deal for a small number of GBs.

I haven't done anything with S3 yet because they're not exposing  
"normal" protocols that I know and love. If I use a particular S3  
client, I don't have a lot of confidence (yet) that it'll be readable  
by any other S3 client. Am I being overly cautious?

Here's what I'm hoping for across my Linux and Mac systems:
        mount -t s3fs  ... /home/lindsey/stuff
