iCloud use and/or plans for use

Are you going to be making serious use of iCloud?

  •  I'm using it now and sharing everything
  •  I just use it for mail
  •  I just use it for music sharing
  •  I just use it for document sharing
  •  I just use it for Contacts and iCal
  •  Not now, but I plan to use it in the next year
  •  No; I have MobileMe and am still waiting
  •  No; and I didn't have MobileMe either
