BOO. HISS.

The remaining 16 gigabytes of
storage space I purchased back
in December 2009 disappeared
and now Google wants 5 more
bucks out of me. I am disappointed
because they did not make it clear
that the un-used portion of my 20-
gig purchase would vanish if I did
not renew. It led me to believe that,
once you have purchased 20 gigs,
it is yours forever. Now, to find out,
that shame on me for not using it up
in a one-year time period, and, with-
out a credit card to buy back the
remaining 16 gigs, I guess I am
forced into taking leave for
a while...

Oh, well. More time to focus
on writing, I guess ;~j

ps: I used a gift-card when I made
my initial purchase, and now they
are no longer accepted !

  2. Lysdexicuss: You're gonna let this fade for the want of $5.00 per annum? Or, more accurately, want of a credit card? Man, that's a shame. Surely Google will accept a check? If it was just the $5.00 I'd send you that in a heartbeat.

  3. Mykal: No, I am glad to pay the five bucks; but disappointed that 16 un-used gigabytes vanished at the end of one year. I thought google would be more transparent when it came to purchasing storage space. I bought 20 gigs, and only used 4; the other 16 just- DISAPPEARED !! So now I have to wait until I go off island and will buy an Amex Giftcard, which they still accept. Do not EVER buy a Visa Vanilla card; they are worthless, and a huge SCAM.

    KW: I will look into starting a splinter blog, but, the 20 gigs I had previously was being shared by my other 3 blogs so I am doubtful your loop-hole idea will work...

  4. Like Mykal said, I'll pay the thing for ya, and I'm broke! I don't want to see you go away! That's what you get for being more prolific than a bunny rabbit on viagra...
    Visa vanilla? I likes chocolate, meself.
