This is a quest to fit my life's history of important moments and documents down into 8 gigabytes (on a USB stick) and two boxes of keepsakes.  It is a journey.  

In my quest to do this, I'm sharing my findings in that it might help someone else in the process.  It is easy to be busy, but who has time to save, find, and restore those things that don't mean much to the greater scheme of life?  Life is short.  In the book of Ecclesiastes there is the admonition not to say "Why were the old days better than these? For it is not wise to ask such questions". There is wisdom in preserving knowledge, but when it takes more effort to manage the "stuff" of your life does it hamper your current day? The other day, it took me twenty minutes to find a document from 3 years ago on my computer at work.  Enough is enough!  Join me in my journey.
