Should I Get A Perm?

[howeird]

The buzz this morning is LJ will be offering permanent accounts for $150 a pop, for a week, starting tomorrow. At roughly $20 a year for a paid account, that would be 7.5 years paid in advance, if we ignore the extra 100 or so user pix and extra 10GB of disk space (I would not use either of these). Factoring those perks in, 100 pix is $10/yr and 10GB is $24/yr so total $54/yr which makes the $150 a bit more attractive. Between my web site and Flickr, I would never use the disk space. And I'm not using all the pix the paid account gives me.

So no, I won't be getting a perm.

I agree. I'm not even using all the features that I have now.

I got mine back at the beginning of 2003 when permanent accounts were cheaper and yearly ones more expensive.
