Best of luck with 'em.
I'm still writing on the same computer I had when I started writing
fanfic--in fact, that's about all the poor old thing does these days.
(I do miss the complex of email filters I had set up on it, though . . .
Unfortunately, hooking it up to the Internet by any means other than its
own modem is impractical--Windows 3.1, y'know.) And the directory
structure gets cloned forward when I back stuff up over the LAN. It's a
bit of a mess, really.
Of course, if I wanted to be really, er, dedicated, I could put
everything under source control . . . but then again, I don't use that as
much as I should even for computer code.

Truth be told, the only reason I haven't done so yet is that I can't be
bothered to dredge up the CD I stored the photo on.
E. Liddell, currently nekoless (and just as wel
--it's hot enough in here
that having something warm and furry in my lap would not be comfortable.
My elbows are sticking to my chair arms.)
