Heya Bloodsong Scary? Nooooooo. he he Tell you what's scary: Spending two frustrating days looking for a download you really need but can't get anymore, 'cause the site no longer exists, and you can't find it, 'cause you downloaded it way back when you were blissfully unaware that your downloads would grow to 20 Gigs+, and you used to know where it was but have forgotten, and anyway your Hard Drive has been reorganised so many times it would not matter even if you remembered, and your backups then were chaotic and what did you used to name things then anyway? and.. and.. and..... That taught me a lesson some months ago and I decided that if you want lots you got to become a 3D filing clerk first. I still have a very large folder from that era "(000) Unsorted Downloads" that I am gradually tackling. I have discovered that I often have multiple copies of things taking up lots of space. One other thing about naming and sorting downloads rigorously is that most of the time you know whom to credit even when no readme file is included. STORM
