I would recommend the use of XDrive (http://www.xdrive.com) for the purpose. This is a service that provides you with 25MB of private (not web-server) space free. You can access it either from a browser interface or (if you are running Windows) by running a small application that makes it appear like a locally attached drive. The latter is very convenient, the former is more universal. Of course, if xdrive.com dies, we all lose, so this should *not* be used as the only storage point. -- There is / one art || John Cowan <jcowan@...> no more / no less || http://www.reutershealth.com to do / all things || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan with art- / lessness \\ -- Piet Hein
