This sums it up. I try to keep it all on both a Hard Drive or two, and on
CD-ROM, just don't forget to periodically refresh your CD-ROM's (keeping at
least one old copy) if you consider the data valuable, CD-R's do go bad.

Cant agree, lotta reference stuff can be looked
up and printed from right of
the www when needed!!!
Right up till the day the host goes down or decides the manuals
to their 1985 models are no longer necessary.
A good example is my IBM XStation 150. When I first got it, you could
search IBM support and get full setup instructions and jumper layouts.
About a year ago, IBM pulled all html pages concerning the 150 and
stashed the docs on a very obscure ftp server.
I barely have time to work, take care of my home
and give some time to my
familly. When am I gonna have the time to compact and transfer stuff? Most
of it you can download off the net somewhere when needed if you hunt and
search a bit...
See above. CD burners are wonderful.
