Where did you read/hear that? I find it a little hard to believe but the modern age is an endless vile stream of minutea, so perhaps we have doubled our total information heap since the dawn of the computer age. A modest suggestion -- history will likely prove out that a good portion of that 50% isn't worth saving. -- Tom Fine ******************** When I was growing up the only personal data that existed for most individuals was a social security number and perhaps a telephone listing. Now every vendor I deal with can instantly retrieve every transaction I've made and account financial records for years are retrievable online. Soon your "file" will include every traffic light and scanner you've passed. Of course none of it is worth saving, but it will be! Mike
