I will look at that. Dropbox fits me perfectly right now, but I don't
backup my movies/videos on it. So maybe I'll use S3 to keep a copy of
videos and stuff that I have accumulated over the years. 

And I could use to to automate my OS/2 backups to the cloud. Currently
I FTP the backup zips from OS/2 to my windows Dropbox folder. 

Dropbox is so seamless, Whatever I put in the dropbox folder is saved
to the cloud, with 30 days worth of versioning. And it has selective
sync for my laptops so I am not storing data I don't need on my
laptops.
