     I'm mad because I've got an existing AWS account (I use S3 and 
Mturk heavily) and I don't get the free offer.  Still,  I'm thinking of 
moving my infrastructure to AWS.  For a long time I've had one big 
server that I put everything on but lately I've had a mysql database get 
huge,  I'm having problems w/ memory pressure and on top of that from 
time to time I run massive batch jobs that hose my websites.  The 
ability to easily provision a cluster of machines on AWS looks awesome 
and I'm going to do development for next mini-project on them.
