Here's the problem with being a "virtual packrat" - eventually your web folders get so clogged with files, the blasted things refuse to open...

Trying to check my "Sent" e-mails today, I essentially had a coronary when a message said something to the effect of "Unable to open file". Aside from having a lot of quotation marks in this posting already, that sort of message "sends my blood pressure through the roof"...

Anyhow, I just spend the better part of an hour trying to divert files to other folders, and now appear able to get back in. What I really need to be able to do is "let go", and delete some of these e-mails from 1999.

Ugh...

How many e-mails are too much?? Well, one folder has almost 3000 e-mails, and Dick Clark was probably still hosting American Bandstand when I got some of them in my in-box.

Ugh...

I can't help it. I like to save things. I still have movie stubs from flicks we saw back in the 80's. Is this some indication of a problem, or am I sitting on a collectibles goldmine?? Well, maybe not with all these freakin' e-mails, I suppose...

Chow for now!!

This is probably not the best time to announce that I'm going to start collecting V-8 juice containers, for a historical product overview....
