In all seriousness, have you considered a CD-R or (better still)
CD-RW drive? I've been quite happy with mine, now that it finally works,
and it's useful for more than just backups. Though it helps that my home
directory weighs in at well under 650 MB (and the rest of my system would
be easy to restore from install CDs and/or internet downloads).
