Note: Bookbag was replaced by a new file storage service called the Common File System (CFS). The CFS provides you with more storage space, has an easier-to-use interface, and is accessible from anywhere. On January 31, 2003, UITS retired Bookbag. For more information, see the Knowledge Base document ARCHIVED: If I had a Bookbag account, what do I need to know about moving to the CFS?
