Get Dropbox, it's awesome!

I've been using Dropbox for a while now as a free way to sync my files online and onto multiple computers.  The basic way this works is that you download a program that integrates into a folder on your computer (Mac and PC) based on your user name.  Saving any file in that folder or subfolders will automatically upload it to a server when you have internet access, and will then distribute to any other computer that you've installed Dropbox on with the same account.  Thus, I can backup my files on my Acer Aspire One, online, and on my desktop at home without any extra work.  Additionally, you can share folders between users, so Rachel and I can both edit things, with the most recent version being saved onto the server.

Anyways, you start out with 2GB, but if you sign up for my referral, both of us each get an extra 250MB, and then you can start a referral chain, for a max upgrade to 5GB.  I really want to get more space on there so I can start uploading some graphic designs, so I'd appreciate if people would sign up using my referral link.  You can always delete it if you don't like it and I'll still get my boost to my storage space:
