I have a tendency to never get rid of any installer that I've downloaded - there are exceptions, of course, but not many. (I've got Firefox installers back to when it was Firebird.)

I have several ActiveSync versions going back to about 3.4 or so (not all, though - never downloaded some as they didn't provide any advantage).

It does get a bit tiresome when doing backups, since I have both PPC and PC directories full of sub-folders of installer files, cab files, etc. that amounts to quite a signficant disc space, but it sure is handy to be able to go back and get the installers when I need to reinstall after a hard reset, Windows reload, etc.

Being a packrat can be a pain occasionally, but it does have its payoffs occasionally too!
