Internet storage refers to websites like: http://box.net/
These allow you a certain amount of generic storage in a proprietary package, but at the core, operate a ftp server within a web browser so you can store and upload anything you want for storage's sake so your not rely on your own hard drive. That was something I factored into my decision purchase is that I have a 80gb media server i can connect to for storage and i use http://www.orb.com/ to stream all my music, video and pictures and i can download them through it if i choose. For my instant msging, I use meebo.com an in browser service that allows me to connect to everyone. I also use googledocs for my documents and pdfs. System works great for me, and would benefit anyone else looking at this kind of setup, or it might work great if your dedicated to just using it for internet and your excel spreadsheets, since we all know thats what pcs are good for
