When is Enough Enough?

by captbilly1eye . Updated 17 years, 7 months ago

Being somewhat bored today, I thought it was about time to do a quick inventory of all the programs and files I’ve accumulated over the years. Just for grins.

Here’s what I came up with:

180,000+ graphic files

25,000+ MP3s

10,000+ fonts

2500+ WAV files

2200+ icons

670+ video files

635 documents

357 games

275 screensavers

267 system tools

263 graphic editing programs

252 misc. programs

245 video and audio editing programs

197 Internet tools

I think it’s time to clean house! 🙂

What do you do with all the useless, out-dated junk you collect? Hard drives are cheap and burning DVDs and CDs is easy. But where do you draw the line and chuck junk in the circular file?

Too bad there’s no way to have a digital garage sale. Program licenses are technically not transferable anyway and the other junk left over from my desktop publishing days doesn’t seem to have much value to anyone but me. Up till now, the only guideline I followed for getting rid of stuff was when it was no longer usable in the current OS.

[BTW… 0 porn] 😉
