Heh, yeah, that makes sense! I guess I'm just compulsive about saving stuff ... very packratty. I write all my stories on my home computer, and keep all the documents afterwards (including all the fragments that I cut out of the finished stories and research notes from writing them); I have an external hard drive where I back stuff up, *plus* I make DVDs. (Though I guess if the house burned down I'd be screwed ... I'm so compulsive that I'm thinking about getting ANOTHER cheap external hard drive and backing everything up so that I could keep it somewhere outside the house. I think this is probably going a wee bit overboard.) Whenever I hear about people who lose vital data when a USB flash drive gets corrupted or their LJ goes down, I freak out a little bit because I'm SO anal about saving everything.
The one thing I'm not is particularly organized, which means that when I do have to go to a backup DVD, I have to hunt through a million of them to find anything. XD
