Hi George and colin,

We're also dealing with parkinson's law. I.e. "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." The same applies to information and storage space.

Murphy's Laws on Computers

- As soon as you delete a worthless file, you'll need it.

- Installing a new program will always mess up at least one
old one.

- You can't win them all, but you sure can lose them all.

- The likelihood of a hard disk crash is in direct
proportion to the value of the material that hasn't been
backed up.

- There are only two kinds of computer users: Those whose
hard disks have crashed, and those whose hard disks haven't
crashed - yet.

- Anything can be made to work if you fiddle with it. If you
fiddle with something long enough, you'll break it.
