Oh, I had checked them out but didn't realise they were Kiwi's. That's
another pet hate, there's loads of vendors that don't operate in their
local currency - it's fine to operate in US dollars, but they should do
the *local* currency as well.
I was thinking of a fair bit more disk space since it's hosting a whole
lot of stuff... but it doesen't get used a lot. Things like a bunch of
personal photo albums.
