Hi. I have a small doubt. 37signals, a company where the creator of  
Rails works has a project management application called basecamp. It is  
subscription based and its plans are based on the number of users and  
disk space allotted for each plan. My doubt is how they allocate the  
disk space instantly for the plan we select. Do they do with Rails or  
with some other method? Can anyone explain about this? Thanks
