Old news to you, I’m sure, seeing as it’s March and all, but I think the 2007 part of the year just hit me. With a 2×4. Upside my head.

I just realized how old some of the mail I have on my home machine actually is… like stuff dating back to the end of 1995. Over ten years of email? I even read through some of it: stuff that was so important then that it was worth saving. Tips, shareware, and Geek stuff is scattered throughout the collection… sad since I figure that 95% of the URL’s in them don’t work anymore. There’s no way in hell I’m looking in the “Women” folder – evar! In fact, I think my “cleansing lust” was just kindled… I’ve got tubs and boxes of stuff that is old – some bordering on ancient – marked as “stuff that I might need someday”. Now I get a feeling that I want to unload it all. Maybe after GDC… and my homework. And my writing, if I ever get back to that.

The only saving grace in being a pack rat in today’s day and age, is that the 1 GB of old email will fit on a thumb drive that’s smaller than a quarter.
