Over the years, people have managed to keep their files
together. UNIX: ~, as always. DOS: Dedicated folder on C:,
or another drive. Win 4.x-6.x: My Documents. Why would we
suddenly need search engines. People unable to label their
files properly (putting them into the right-named directory
as a bonus) are a lost case like their files.
