I agree 100%... with one proviso or quid pro quo:

Yeah I have to agree with that too. DMS's are coming along. I figure their quality and selection of features and design philosophies will be good enough by the time I need to use them by default rather than on special occasion. A few directories were good enough for my mp3's and pictures for a while, now I use Ampache and Gallery. I figure some mediawiki plugin or something completely else will turn up for random documents by the time I really need it. Emails are the closest thing I have to a problem. I have been saving most emails for years and even so it's still searcheable in a reasonable time. But it's just a huge outlook express store directory. There is a lot of important documentation in there that really would be nice if it was more generically accessible. (yeah yeah I hate ms as much as the next guy, but I need to use windows as my normal desktop and I need my email to work 100% and after the 2nd or 3rd time netscape blew up and destroyed it's email db files and I lost several months or a years worth of email I gave up on 3rd party mail clients on windows, that was so many years ago that it was netscape and eudora but the lesson remains sound.) -- Brian K.
