I would think school files would be worth saving. I suppose an old history essay from freshman year of high school might not be important to you in 10 years or so, but you might change your tune in college. I keep two continuous backups of all of college work, as well as a third on my desktop that I leave at home. Even if you don't necessarily need those files later they're always useful as reference.

It's really great how cheap storage space is nowadays. I got a 200GB drive from CompUSA about 2 months ago for $60 after rebates. Granted it's not as cheap as 80GB for $10 but it's still pretty great! I just stuffed it into an aluminum USB 2.0/Firewire enclosure I got for $40 and it was up and running. Works perfectly.
