First question. Are you looking for a file system to record your paper copies of downloads, or a diffeent system for only the digital stuff? All my downloads eventually make it to paper, so I am using my system set up in Windows DOS days. So my PDF/JPG are stored on paper and also in hard drives, etc. The paper ones have the file names written on the printout. I have also made scrapbooks which contain up to 30 photos per page, including photo name, as an index to all work. Even documents are there, though to small to read. Rich in LA CA
