My account on USC’s Aludra server is approaching its quota. I appreciate that they’re proactive about sending these warnings. I’d hate to one day run out of space and be stuck deleting files when I’m too busy to do so.

yeh 50meg is kinda stuffy!
It’s pretty ridiculous they still only give us 50MB. Most students never use it at all, while CS and other engineering students often find themselves having to delete stuff to stay under quota, especially as you get into some of the upper division courses with large projects.
