tip for removing duplicate files from hd?

who is using plain txt to gtd?

So I just got started with GTD and found it extremely helpful for me.

Now I am wondering whether there is any best practice/ source of information for convincing my team @ work to apply some GTD techniques (at least some), given that they all have their preferred way of organizing their stuff. Obviously, I don´t want to pose things on them. So I would not want to disregard the fact that there are other methods and systems that work OK for them. Anyone any thoughts, comparisons with other methods/systems that would point out respective strenghts of GTD?

Thanks in advance Joe

David Pogue: Be Careful What You Joke About

David Pogue gets an informative response to an offhand remark he'd made about macros. Man, you really don't want to fool around with these EMACS people:

Various packages of “macros” were developed to provide speedier editing, and went by various names ending in “macs,” short for “macros.” TMACS and RMACS had also been popular, but the EMACS package seemed to have the most users. By 1979, EMACS was in version 135, and was maintained mostly by Richard Stallman with help from a few others.

Around 1981-1982, I added the M-$ keystroke bound to the macro “Check Word Spelling,” making EMACS perhaps the first text editor with an integrated spelling corrector.

In my brief time with EMACS, I felt like I was trying to play Rachmaninov with tiny, baby hands. But, brother, when I see what people like Ken and Nelson can do with it, my mind is blown. Makes me want bigger hands.
