which is why i never delete mails. the time saved that way is much more valuable than the few bits an individual email has. if i am short on space i delete big items (like downloaded software) anything small is just shoved into a corner and maybe backed up once. then there is the memory method. if i can't remember what any of that stuff is, and if i have not used it for years, than it can't be important. i won't delete it, but i won't back it up either. if it gets lost it will usually take another year until i realize i miss something, and then i won't be able to reconstruct how it got lost anyways. greetings, martin. ps: have any of you seen the cvs repository of the code i wrote in 1999? i am pretty sure i still had it somewhere over a year ago. -- interested in doing pike programming, sTeam/caudium/pike/roxen training, sTeam/caudium/roxen and/or unix system administration anywhere in the world. -- pike programmer working and travelling in europe open-steam.org unix system- bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at administrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org is.(schon.org|root.at) Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
