We've also found www.mediamax.com which offers 25GB free and 50GB is only $45/year. Their model is to get you to share your media a lot and charge you for bandwidth. What we all agree on is that some sort of "net disk" is great for disaster recovery. We should all be using local disk backup for normal mistakes and/or hardware failure.

Smugmug provides unlimited storage (some limits on bandwidth) for $35/year. Not only would it cost me more to use S3, I would have to come up with a separate solution for viewing them.
