It's a neat idea.  My boyfriend "gave" me I: drive on this computer
(er...the HD is *way* too partitioned...don't ask).  I would be willing
to back up others' files up to 20 MB or possibly more, depending, the
only caveat being *please* have another backup method, as unfortunately
my boyfriend's computer is very prone to crashing (last time we only lost
C:).  I do have my own Mac but it's short on HD space and is an old
Powerbook to boot.  :-/

As for my own files--I have 'em in handwriting, printout, backup email,
website, and HTML/.doc versions.  Call me paranoid, but I feel somewhat
safe.  :-p
