Its interesting...I too have a large digital graveyard. The g4 guts contained the powerbook 530's hd image. The raid contains the G4's guts. I have my entire digital life archived going back to when I failed at tape archiving the 200MB hds we got for our mac II* variants. I've a grand idea to go through and organize/delete things one day. But like my email inbox, I doubt I'll ever make it. Physical things consume annoying amounts of space, usually evoking a biannual dejunking of the obsolete. Digital stuff consumes infinitesimal amounts of a limitless landscape. Its more efficient to get more space and computation power to sort on the fly than for me to do it manually(my pcisys email box is ~5gb, but the phenom searches it in about 2 sec). But it will live on till the raid fails or I die and someone shreds my digital wealth.
ReplyDeleteLots of bits that are potentially useful or interesting, but likely a lost cause in the face of entropy. On the bright side, I spend a lot more time affectionately insulting Bayram now. I haven't remembered anything to miss in my decade long pile of bits in a long long time. If it all disappeared tomorrow, I'd miss the photos and little else.
