These are also helpful when you see a rumored list for this year - you can see if it is actually from a previous year :)

A great resource, thanks Brad!

Great Thanks!!

Fabulous!

I still have the scan ads from 2004 and 2005. Not all but some.

Thanks! :)

LOL, I had them until my old computer crashed a few months ago.

I have lists back to 2002 on my other computer. I saved them, because back then some lists were being removed from sites. So I always copied and pasted them.

So I have all the ads proudly. (or shame since I really DONT NEED them)

You're welcome and it's not as rare as you would think.

Do you have e-mails that date back to 1996? :eek:

I've still got most, if not all, of the ad scans from 2005 stored on a cd. Gave it to my local relatives and friends to use for their black friday shopping. I'm gonna get 'em out again so I can help watch out for false ads reposted from previous years.

Hmmm... well... to 1995 here :o

Thanks for the links, Ross...

I have them back to 1997. I have every single e-mail between me and my clients. :gdparanoid:

How big is your Inbox?!

How big is your Inbox?!

Currently there are two e-mails in there. ;)

I have a folder in Outlook for each client and a few other misc. folders (personal, receipts, offers, etc.). I have "rules" that auto-sort inbound mail to the proper folder.

After the first three years, I started splitting off new .pst files on Jan. 1st. I'll have Outlook open both at startup till I don't need the previous year anymore (usually Feb.) Then I just have it for reference...

I couldn't imagine a .pst of all 9 years. That would definitely choke Outlook! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Surprise/scared.gif

If anyone would be gracious enough, I'd love to have the BestBuy ads as far back as you have them. It would be nice to reminisce about the past BF's.

Alittle of both, but I'm missing a few ads. Great way to compare the new nd previous deals.
