This is a spot-on image of what the desktop screen on my laptop looks like except in my case the "Quarantine Section" is renamed "Pandora's Box" for obvious reasons. Makes me wonder if graduate students the world over are similar in desktop organizing habits. One thing for sure, academics are obsessive compulsive rat-packs, meaning that we accumulate but almost never discard. God knows how much useless craps I have stored in my laptop over the years but occasionally I try to force myself to do the PC-equivalent of spring cleaning and get rid of the junks - without much success at all. There's always this lurking insidious voice telling me that I might need this application or that video clip again in the future, so better not trash them. I guess in the end, similar to ridding useless junks in real life, one has to be cold-blooded and ruthlessly unsentimental when in comes to cleaning up one's hard drive, which is definitely not a strong suit of mine. I'm forever doomed as the electronic-version of an obsessive compulsive rat-pack.
