U could use those (hotmail, yahoo or even google mail) which give u a gig a space. But I wouldnt reccomend it without having the stuff backed up on disc anyways.   They can disapear off the site and nothing u could do about it.  Same as the "free" online sites that host your pics..   Can disapear anytime and u would lose everything.   If its a "new" PC that your getting, it will have a CD/DVD burner for you.  Use that for best protection.
