Shit, that's an incredibly sucky thing to do to employees, right after the holidays, too.

Wow... that's awful. Guess we'll see what happens... I'm backing up my stuff tonight. Hopefully my permanent account won't end up costing $150 for a year and a half.

I'm not sure yet, to be honest. :) One of my friends mentioned she was backing hers up and had already done so a month or two ago, so I'm bugging her for details. I'll report back when I hear back from her.
