You think the office is bad?  You should look at the disk drive
sometime!  I have decided that with the decrease in cost of hard disk
storage, it is easier and cheaper to just add another drive than it is
to try to clean up a drive already on the system.  A gig drive now
costs $220.00 for a SCSI unit, and if I have a full gig drive on the
system, I can hope to reclaim at best 250 MB by spending a day or so
cleaning it up.  The value of the reclaimed space is then $55.00,
which is less than I charge for a day of my time.
