It's not clear what proportion of Ubuntu users actually use Ubuntu One. We have three PCs at home running Ubuntu (four users), and have never registered with Ubuntu One, and are unlikely to do so.

True story.. This year I used DOS Backup.

Needed to retrieve some family letters and records from a deceased relative's backup on 3.5 inch floppies. Rebuilt a Windows 3.1 machine and restored the DOS backups to recover the files. The PFS First Choice files could not export the files into anything that would preserve the formatting in something more modern. A Google search provided the answer. Import the documents into Star Office and export them as MS Word 97 files. This was done on a Windows 98 machine. Sometimes it pays to keep old software for emergencies. Real Men keep backups.
