Abstract

With current systems, we are forced to make decisions either to keep or not keep; delete or not delete a file. Unfortunately our opinions about many information items do not easily fit into this binary worldview. As a part of an exploratory study of looking at file organization on personal computers, this paper describes how people deal with this difficulty on their computers. It implies that people need a facility for information items that falls between the categories of keep and not keep.
