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!

I remember sometime last year there was a thread here on PPCT about keeping old software versions/loads for various reasons.
I'm just as bad - I have software for my H/PCs and P/PCs that are 4-5 revs back for no good reason.... :roll:
