</div>The $400 figure is based on two shares plus 26GB disk space,<br>
adding to to the desired 50GB, at yearly rate.<br>

</div>Shares cost $16/month or $168/year, similar ratio for extra disk<br>
space, so it saves some money upfront. We could start with one share<br>
but since we'd almost certainly need more anyway, the question is<br>
whether fine-tuning on that range is worth the time it takes,<br>
especially in the purchasing process. Two shares plus the extra<br>
disk space is of course not exact but an educated guess of what<br>
might be enough for a year, and close enough that possible savings<br>
from going below wouldn't be worth the trouble.<br>
(There's discussion about this on the archives, probably on<br>
the EC or finance team lists.)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Ok, thanks. Sorry to make you repeat the explanation. So I have put two shares plus 26GB disk space (at an annual rate of 401.52) into the shopping cart, and will contact Milton to login and make payment.<br>
