   Terry Porter would.   
      
   He would volume label each drive with a letter of the alphabet and file   
   his documents that way.   
      
   IOW documents beginning with the letter A would be on the A drive etc.   
      
   Of course he is going to come up a few letters short, which will totally   
   baffle him.
