I had a Manila dream this morning. In the dream, I went to Scripting News or the EditThisPage.Com front page to find out that Dave was finally going to charge for hosting. I think it was something like a hundred dollars a month. The reason posted on the site was that the database was getting too big and with around 26 million users (in my dream, and I’m sure in Dave’s dreams, too : ), he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to cash in. The dream didn’t go on long enough for me to find out if it applied to everyone who already signed up, but it was implied that any sites that didn’t already have any content would be first ones to go. It was a scary dream???

Some of the dream came from when I went to visit StatMarket last night to check out the latest browser usage stats, and found out that I have to be a member now to see any of the stats, whereas they used to be freely available to everyone. They want people to cough up $795 a month. I just want to see how many people are still using Netscape 4! Oh well???
