Sounds like a decent deal, but I have heard mention elsewhere of a CPU time limit of 2400 seconds a day?
Could Somebody explain this to me?

I think I’d feel a little bit better if DH had a reassuringly vague statement like “Do No Evil,” even if it didn’t mean anything. Still, as the nameservers for my website will show…I’m still for it.
