Files, organizing, then finding

Our goal is to get rid of most of the paper files and put the important stuff into a computer folder structure with it's own virtual disk volume. That way we can compress it and encrypt it and write it to memory sticks for backup when traveling and for general safety.

Getting rid of the paper is hard.

One of the things I really like about having files on the computer instead of file cabinets is the ability to search without much effort. It is also handy to be able to show a folder's contents sorted by date, so I can throw out files I don't need anymore, like tax related stuff after 7 years.

The other day, I needed to look up when the first time a doctor diagnosed my arthritis. It was very easy and quick.
