Good evening, my name is ginkessler and I'm an E-hoarder. I have about 75 unread e-mails, 22 Back-up DVDs of my old data, 33 chingamadralbytes of C-64 software in my garage and two boxes with 1.44 MB 3.5 inch floppy disk drives with documents from my college years.

I gues I am a Hoarder. I save a lot of shortcuts to Favorite websites, User Guides and have maybe a dozen saved emails that confirm something or other. So what business is it of yours what a person saves on HIS COMPUTER. BTW all them are duplicated on IE, Chrome, Firefox and Opera. About 1700 Bookmarks an 100 some PDF Files.

A Friend has hundreds of old radios, Computers going back to the first, a dozen Tablets, Newspapers and Magazines going back to the Vietnam Era and over 500 old radios. Cars, TVs and more. He will never part with even one.

Ohh you took my idea! lol

I am trying to think if I ever moved all the data on my floppies to Cds or DvDs...
Wait, where are my floppies? I hate moving! I know I have a 17 gallon storage tote full of them.
Sindles after sindles of DvD data, movies, music, and I dont even want to guess how many spindles of Cds.
3 email accounts behind on email, piled up messages on twitter. Oh crap, yep, I am an ehoarder :(

"So what business is it of yours what a person saves on HIS COMPUTER."

None at all if saved on your computer.

However, if it is acompany computer on my domain then it becomes my business.

Amazing what some people will keep. I have seen users who archive ads and SPAM from 10 yrs ago. They archive their deleted items folder.

Best are the ones who keep 30-40,000 unread items in the Inbox, then complain about how slow Outlook runs.
