or:
keep everything you download and dump them onto DVDs every now and then.

Or maintain a small 2GB harddrive
and dump the .exe there every time you update/install something

eh?
but DVDs are like two removeable 2gig drives which take up less physical space...

WITCHCRAFT!

although, to be fair
it is easier to remember to do this with a HDD, and hard to lose!

well maybe
but i'm quite an organised and tidy person.

Ah.
I'm not. And dreading the day when I need to re-install everything.

This
and also, HDD you can replace your Firefox 10.03.6.4.567 with 10.03.6.4.568 so you always have an up-to-date one. Unless you use DVD-RW, which is officially the work of Alchemists.

i don't care
i'd rather keep my HDs tidy for other uses (ie audio recording, and mp3s)

Yeah, but 2GB
is really useless for most purposes. And you dont' want to be accessing ancient HDDs too frequently or they die the death of dogs.

I'm now planning a bit of a rebuild
another new HD, better motherboard, bit more RAM and a DVD writer should cover my needs for another three years :)
