The files section of the Yahoo Groups disklavier group is set by Yahoo to have a 
maximum storage size of 20MB. This limit was placed by Yahoo for all of the free 
Yahoo Groups several years ago and has yet to be increased. We know that is a 
ridiculous limit in this day of relatively cheap storage. A couple of folks had 
volunteered at one time to host a site where additional material could be 
stored. I'm not certain as to what became of the offer. We could place a link 
here to another site if this did come about.

I had spend many hours about 3 years ago organizing this Group's file section 
and 'trimmed' out material that was considered sub-standard material, multiple 
MIDI files of the same material, 'Little Susan's First Recital' (might be what 
someone was proud of at one time), <or> illegal (i.e., copyrighted material) 
that should have never been placed there in the first place.

I will go back over the next few days and take another look at files that 
potentially could be cleaned out to make room for additional material.
