Well, having read (or rather: started to read/tried to read) many of Stephen's blog posts, I would argue that not every single one of his musings should be recorded. :-)

Thats interesting to learn. I think he is on to something.

The one thing that computers are really good at is storing data (especially text) so I believe it should be a core function of any computer that it should never loose anything a user has input.

Sadly the reality is far from the truth. The number of times I have entered something into a webform or an app, only to have it disappear for some weird reason...
