I was just thinking this morning about our home filing system and how it is just a complete mess.

I was wondering if anyone does or has heard of filing on your PC?

example, you get a piece of mail that you need to keep for a certain amount of time. Scanning it and filing it on your computer and then shredding the snail mail copy? That way if you need it you can print it off but it doesn't take up any actual space in your house?

I'm wondering if this is a good idea or a bad idea.
