My memory is very bad. I have photo collections both in my Mac and in albums. I try to trash the bad pictures like I try to trash the bad books but I still have a lot of stuff. I'm not in league of horders but I worry about it. I just have too much stuff. The creation of ebooks and for that matter CDs and DVDs was a god-send for me. Do you have any idea how much space music albums take up, VHS, hard cover books and magazines? When I was young I just about spent all my free time in the library, I had no money. Now as a working adult I lost that 'thrifty' mindset. I buy everything. Back in the olden days, 45 years ago, not many people had books, maybe a set of Encyclopedia, a cookbook, bible, some kid's books and maybe Reader's Digest and that was it. I still walk into peoples homes and see no books, only a People magazine or TV Guide. As soon as I started working I started buying music, books, and cloths.
