Personally, I use CD-ROMs, when I'm on my Linux machine, or, when I absolutely have to have a file that I was working on with my 190, in which case, I move it to my desktop, via floppy. I also email files to myself, but, I have about 5 gigs of combined email storage, between my Gmail, my Yahoo and my CwazyMail accounts. Personally, I don't find online storage services to be worth the money, but, your mileage may vary. But, as I said, between the 160 GB drive in my Linux machine and the 5 GB of email storage, I don't have to worry, too much. Typically, with my 190, I'll just send the file to my Gmail and not worry about it, because I can access it from wherever I'm at, be it at my desktop, my grandpa's new Mac Mini, or an internet kiosk in Siberia.
