And there goes another terabyte …

Occasionally I remember it seems like a small world on our PC’s and (bleugh!) MAC’s (Note to self: Must start cutting Apple users some slack!) .  However much we think we know there are millions of people out there hooked up to same place we are, it rarely registers – we are always “visiting”.    That is why we are  always downloading, as if frantically picking up as many souvenirs as we can before it “disappears”.   We are all one terminal amongst hundreds of millions are on the same network at the same time – so why bother trying to backing up the www on your pc?  This question has been in my head a thousand times. Even the paltry WAP open source I submitted in 2002 to a few php script sites are STILL easy to find.  After being on the web 15 years I have realised that nothing goes away (though I struggle to re-find things sometimes!).
