Print from your room: iPrint
This service provides registered users of the Public Workstation Facility at the University of Cambridge the ability to print to PWF from their own Windows computer. Information on how to set this up can be found here. iPrint support for Linux is due in 2012.
Free Online File Storage: CIFS (Common Internet File System)
The CIFS service enables you to use your PWF personal filespace (or group filespaces) directly from a non-PWF (your own) machine. When you have successfully set up your CIFS connection, your PWF filespace will appear as just another network device, and can be used in exactly the same way as any local filing system (like your CD drive or local hard disk). Information on how to set this up is found here: http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/pwf/remote/cifs.html
