I signed up for a Flickr account not too long ago after reading soo much about how good it is. I already have a Shutterfly account which was (and still is) working perfectly well and I am satisfied with it. Moreover, I have never liked the idea of opening separate accounts for separate stuff IF I could put them all in one place. And not to mention the numerous passwords that I have to remember!
Anyway, I applied for an account. And, no brownie points for guessing this correctly, I spent almost the entire day playing with it 
And then, unsurprisingly, I noticed there were limitations to what a non-pro account holder can do compared to pro account holders (read: people who pay 25-US-Dollars per year). Paid users get to upload an unlimited amount of photos, for example. And they can also create an unlimited number of sets (which works like photo albums).
And then two days ago when I was replying an email to somebody whom I’ve not met but whose blog I frequent, I complained about it - the limited things that “unpaid users” can do..
And this morning I received a notification from Flickr that this somebody bought me a PRO Account!
I was totally caught off guard.. I didn’t know how to thank her (but I did, rather profusely).. I mean, it wasn’t my intention to complain to her so that she would get me a PRO Account, or anything for that matter..
So to show how I truly appreciate this early Christmas gift, I stole a picture off her Flickr account and paste it here:
Thank you very much, Hsin!
