Are you a digital hoarder?

Topics

Prometheus

I'm going to format my PC tomorrow to install a new operating system (Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit). Before I do that I have to transfer anything on my hard drive I want to keep to my external USB hard drive but there isn't room for all of it.

Movies, music, games, my computer is FULL of the stuff and I know at least as far as most of the movies are concerned (and probably most of the games) I'll never watch them again or play them again but I can't bring myself to let them go

I can't believe how much stuff I've accumulated since I got this PC. Bloody Norah, Gordon Bennett... etc, where did it all come from? I am going to have to be brutal during the selection process when deciding what goes and what stays. Oh the trauma...

Are you a digital hoarder or is it just me that's completely round the twist?

I like to go through my stuff and delete unwanted crap

But in answer to your question... I probably am; I just don't like to admit it I have a stack of CDs of backup stuff

Surely you can get hold of it again though Prom? And as my brother says..........if you haven't watched within two months, it's hardly likely that you will ever

I've spent the last coupla weeks converting the stuff I had converted to MP3 back into audio so I could convert it onto my iPod. 40GB so far. My musical life has been 78/45/33/cassette/CD/

I'd say get rid of the movies - you can always download them again at a later date!

I have windows 7 64bit home premium

I'm with you from 45 onwards. I'm the other way around. I'm trying to find all the stuff I used to have on vinyl and CD (gave most of it away) in mp3 format. You just know I won't even remember half of what I had

It's definitely the movies that are going to have to make way. I'm too embarassed to say how many I've got. Mostly horror movies that I can't remember if I liked or not but I know I hated most of them

Yeah, I've got masses of the stuff too, but I won't pay full price for a CD and don't d'load, so it's gonna take me ages

Hope you can find it all. The only things I had to buy were Family and Curved Air. My name is Garage Joe and I am a Digital Hoarder.

Joe I went to a DH meeting last week. It's sort of like the AA but for people like us. Last meeting they persuaded me to get rid of the stuff I have twice where I keep one that's only slightly different which was a big step forward for me. Would you like to come to the next one?

Does it count that we have over 1000 games on cassette for the ZX Spectrum & no longer have a tape deck to play them on ??

I dare not admit any further detail other than I have many many taped/converted to CD/converted to MP3/soon to be converted ter iThing, concerts by one particular artiste. Thus I have lotsa versions of particular songs.

That particular artiste better be good if it's all 'live' stuff we're talking about.

I like guitar solos.

It depends who's playing them. If it's Angus Young I say yes but you said 'artiste' so it must be a solo artist. Knock yourself out I'm just the same I'm a glutton for music by bands or musicians I really love I just can't get enough of it.

Promeeefeus isn't speaking to me but I'm going to share my distaste anyway. Some stupid pillock seems to think that removing all traffic lights and any authoritative signage on the roads and leaving pedestrians, cyclists and motorists to instead negotiate the space by way of eye signals will encourage harmony and sharing.

As this was written about in 2008 I'm wondering if he's been run over yet.

Or serving a prison sentence for angrily whacking a Lollipop person over the head for having the nerve to try and let children and old people cross the road safely.

I might just write this in my essay.

Alright love keep your knickers on! I wasn't calling you a hoar you doughnut, I was double checking the line of enquiry to ensure I answered it correctly

(the fact that I didn't actually answer it is neither here nor there)

You raise a valid point regarding Lollipop persons and I've had more than enough headaches this year already. I iz keeping schtum.

OK I see your point. Although it's a bit like Alberti Bass played on a guitar!
I like my solos to have lotsa key changes and time signature alterations.

I think you'll find he's probably behind most of the current Tory policies
