...The Road to You-know-where being paved with Good Intentions. As an inveterate packrat in non-Cyber-space I can appreciate the reflex *not* to throw something away. If you didn't toss it, you can always reverse that decision later. If you threw it out, retrieving it later may prove ...complicated.

Thus far I have learned there is commercial software available to deal with this issue. On the computer in question I'm only looking at pics of old trucks I remember I didn't download, on pages from "The Pacific Northwest Truck Museum" and sites linked from theirs. I suspect the person I asked in the Computer-accessories aisle was talking about different subject-matter, but this is the Notebook Computer we may take on the road so I just don't even go there for a peek, lest evidence persist. There's always one more place to look in a computer stolen under color of authority, I suspect. So this computer has never visited any ww.nekkidpeopledoingstrangethings-dot-com.

Just now getting current Norton's into both our active computers and getting our old house sold is demanding most of what I have. Then I'll try one of those "window-washer" type softwares and deliver my report. RKBA! Have a Blessed Easter, everyone.
