Windows 7 still slated for 2010 says Microsoft, Bill Gates just crazy-talking (Engadget)

Yahoo! Mail turns 10 (Download Squad)

Oct 9th 2007 2:59AM No yahoo mail for me until it can do threaded conversations like gmail and it gets rid of all those ridiculous graphic adverts. So far no web mail comes close to the clean uncluttered functionality of gmail.

Data impermanence - how much old data are you carrying around, and why? (Download Squad)

Jan 11th 2007 5:17AM I also had hundreds of megabytes of "data", email, old installs and documents lying on old cd's and dvd's that I have not looked at to date.

Now I hardly save anything - I keep a master list of software I need if my computer crashes, an encrypted truecrypt document container for important documents (I keep this on my USB key) and use gmail to archive information I want to keep.

A good idea is to have a "Death row" (not my choice of description) folder everywhere you keep your data (email and documents). If you are not sure whether you need it but want to keep it for a bit put it in this folder. Check the folder from time to time deleting or properly assigning the information contained therein.

My life has far less clutter now.
