Question

I have a rubbish old netbook that I use for writing when I'm out and about. It's of such limited specifications that I use notepad++ for this rather than a real word processor.

Recently I lost some work to file corruption, and decided I'd rather switch to a cloud-based service like google docs or office online. However, such are the limitations of my hardware that even these services cause the dear little thing to struggle terribly.

I don't really want to use a file-storage solution like dropbox. Not only is this slightly less convenient than direct cloud-based editing but it'll require running another service in the background, taking up precious memory from my 512MB.

I don't really require any functionality better than standard windows notepad. So are there any super-light cloud based text editors?

(Moral of this question: don't skimp on hardware, it's a false economy)

Explanation / Answer

Some easy solutions include:
Pastebin

There are multiple pastebin services around, like Pastebin.com or Pastebin.Mozilla.Org, offering different sets of features. Some are pretty basic, others include syntax highlighting and more. Disadvantage often is you need to remember the URLs, so there's almost no "file management" available
