Just reading the Circuits section of the NYT last week and came across
this handy tip from a reader:

  E-Mailing Your New PC

  To the Editor:

  I bought a new computer a week before reading "A Port Beckons:
  Moving to a New PC" (Basics, March 21). The method I used to
  transfer files (not applications) is very simple. I simply copied
  the files I wanted and sent them to myself by e-mail. Then I went to
  my new computer and copied the files from my e-mail message to its
  new location. This is quicker than using floppy disks.��

What a great idea, I thought.  But then

Better come up with something else...

PS: I use nnml with GNUS and subscribe to lots of mailing lists.  My
Mail folder thus accounts for 150,000 of these files.  Wonder what the
fuck the other 178,000 are?
