There's a story about the computer system in Whitehall - the heart of the British government's civil service - crashing badly some years ago. Something seemed to be terribly wrong with the storage capacity; it had been designed with space for many more years but somehow it kept running out. Extra capacity was added, at great expense because this was back in the days of mainframes. The whole thing ground to a halt again. Were the saving formats wrong? It didn't make sense that memos and reports could take up so much file space. Long rounds of experimentation showed that they were fine. Then one of the techies had the idea of checking what all these files actually were. A huge (and growing) majority of the file space was taken up by part-written novels.
