> Yep, I've got dozens of those little things strewn about my hard drives and floppy disks, delightful little files. I also save titilating chat transcripts and scrumptous e-mail exchanges. I have so many of these .txt files that I can't remember what each one is on about until I open it, and then what delight! What pleasure! A surprise around every pathname!

I don't even delete the incriminating ones! Rants and musings and poems and EMails and chats...

Especially EMails, though, for me. It's better than a diary. What was I thinking, feeling, what caught my attention? The things that are worth pointing out to tell people are usually the ones I most want to remember. And I have two large boxes of old papers I've saved... programs, notes, letters, bulletins... anything and everything. I *love* going back through it.
