I think I've been in a similar position - for at least 2 years I believe that everything I've done at work has been thrown away (3 firms going under). Possibly the job before that as well. For example, about the only useful thing I did at boo.com that benefits the rest of the world is bug ID 19990805.004 (and you can see how tenuous that "benefit" is). Not sure how long the thing I'm currently doing for the BBC will be in use for. Nicholas Clark
