I am better now that I prefer faster hard drives, but in the past I suffered from hoarding computer files. I still have TV quality files in addition to my blu ray dvd's and my hdtv downloads. It's like any file that I could find I would think to myself, if I on a remote island I would watch/use that!
Honestly coming to grips with it is terrifying and I wish I had every file I have ever come across to this day, but I don't and there are too many more to get to be worried about the ones I had.
- foobarian 12y agoThe nice thing about files is that they don't take up (much) physical space. I still have all my files going back to 1993 when I built my first PC. The process is easy: wait for disk sizes to double, copy old disk image to new disk, repeat.
- lotsofcows 12y agoYour hoarding problem is more socially acceptable than the one in the article.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoIt's also physically healthier and more affordable.

- pavel_lishin 12y agoI threw away a box of CD-Rs and DVD-Rs full of various episodes of TV shows and movies I'd downloaded in college. I know I have the potential to become a hoarder. I'm very glad that modern society shows us that people can become ill in that way, because now I'm very vigilant to make sure I don't become that person.
