Microsoft's Nifty Digital Shoebox

摘要

People these days are using their home computers for two different, and sometimes incompatible, purposes. On the one hand, PCs are what they have always been-tools for e-mail, Web browsing, writing, managing finances, and myriad other chores. Increasingly, however, the computer is also becoming a repository for the stuff of your life that used to fill shoeboxes and filing cabinets: That means photos, music, and video recordings, as well - as documents, financial records, and more. Much of it is valuable, and some is irreplaceable.
