Sounds good to me. I used to use a web drive for backing up important files. Although I never fully used the web drive's possibilities, it could have stored all the stuff I might need for a business meeting, helping to relieve the fears of losing or having damaged disks or something happening to the the laptop right before a big meeting. Going one step further and being able to run software on a virtual computer would be neat, but wouldn't it require a really good Internet connection, something you're not guaranteed when you're on the road?
