- I save *everything* <g>. No, not quite all my email, as much of it is
- trivial, but the personal correspondence with friends, that I *do* keep,
- both incoming and outgoing. One person alone in the last 20 months
- since we started corresponding has taken up 3.6 Mb on my hard disk, and
- that's just chat - the programs, stories, etc. must make it at least
- twice that transferred...
-
- However, if I die, will anyone keep it or 'archive' it? I doubt it.
- It's a lot easier to wipe a disk than it is to throw away several
- thousands of letters - probably they wouldn't even bother looking...
