A nihilist I see! :) well, in the long term I am not totally in disagreement with the statement!
However, at least for the time being it is useful to be able to archive them at
least for the several times that their sale might contribute to my financial
well being - if only to a very small extent!
Oh, and while _my_ arrangements of digital data will be insignificant possibly those of others may contain some information of interest (not that it will probably mean much) to future generations who might just wonder what society was like in the early 2000s.

Andy,
In the early 21C. every utterance, record, and gastronomical eruption was digitized in great redundance. No doubt this bizarre and un-healthy retentive compulsion evolved from the habit of digging in garbage mounds and privys to locate clues to the causes of this very behavior. Were it not now possible to substantially shrink data files the planet would be awash with un-useable media instead of stored in a shoe box labeled "Miscellaneous." in the basement of the Galactic Archeological Research Bureau of Ancient and Goofy Enterprises.
