I'd say that could describe what Chris and I do. We have all sorts of digital goods stored. We gather what looks good and keep it stashed away indefintly or until it doesnt look so good anymore. Thus we now have someplace in the neighborhood of 400GigaBytes of storage setaside just for such packratting, and we upgrade at least once a year if not more. Why? some of you may be asking. Mostly because we can. Its also something todo and has provided many learning experinces with linux for me and keeps me learning. Lots of other reasons as well.

In a digital age where something comes something can just as easily exist as it can not. As any record or trace of a conversation can be gone with a click or keystroke. I prefer to keep record to see what has been said, to look back to see to learn. I do this daily (with a few exceptions) to preserve my thoughts and feelings on a particular day or time just to do it. I have few reasons not to and few reasons to do so other than I can and I may learn something from it and something from people who may post comments. I also, unlike many but also with many embrace digital with my lifestyle and ways. I look up movie times on my phone, check the weather on my phone, read news on my clie when I'm not online, often have my digital camera with me to capture moments and scenes. Why because I can, because I know how, because I learn from it, I learn about me and my suroundings, my peers of the digital realm and the analog.
