Non--Connecting Files I had always just hung onto pieces of info that "never quite fit in" although it seemed as if they should have. I now have a floppy on Non-Connecting and use it as follows: If I receive something that seems as if it fits but there are a few generations missing, or it sounds correct but not enough to place in my family file. I stick these in the Non Connecting and with some frequency I go through it to see if anything fits yet. You would be surprised at something that seemingly didn't fit last week or last month now fits. I began doing this as the result of saying way too many times,"I had something on that, now where did I put it?" So now I save things JUST IN CASE. If it still doesn't fit after a reasonable amount of time of I recheck it and it really doesn't fit after all I discard it. I do try to make sure I have past the point on a line that the questionable info would cover. Maybe this isn't the best of systems but it saves loosing items that later become useful. Don't misunderstand I don't do all my research on floppys, I do also maintain a notebook of Family sheets,pedigrees,etc. I want just one more back up if I were to loose all on the computer.
