And if you live in one of Comcast's lovely "test areas" (aka testing to see how much extra money they can force you to pay), you get to contend with data caps. So reuploading the data might not be possible without paying Comcast a toll. I'm actually keeping an old XP computer running simply because it has Backblaze backing up stuff and I can't reup it all without paying Comcast an overage or two.

I think they'll all boil down to deals Amazon covets because they'll make Amazon a lot of money.

For Amazon you can use CamelCamelCamel to check historical prices on physical items like that. It's quite handy for seeing if the price is really a deal or not.

Multi-quoting is simple, the little square button to the right of the quote button at the bottom right of each post toggles multi-quote on/off for that post. Simply click that for the posts you want to quote, then click quote for the last one and it'll fill in quotes for each post in the reply box for you. I attached a screenshot of just the buttons for you below:
