in Who will archive when you die? on Rahul Gaitonde
Hmmm that's an interesting. I have thought about this...especially about the blog and the photos I keep uploading on flickr.

My personal take on this is that most people wouldn't want to go to elaborate details to handover email, messages etc to someone after their death. Artifacts like blog might be kept alive and would die eventually if it's not interesting enough for the next gen. But things like photos, mail etc are the most valuable only to the person who owns them (assuming that everyone has their own mail, archive of photos etc) and once they pass way, there wouldn't be much value in maintaining it (unless the person was famous!). I guess the only thing people might worry about that is that any sensitive information would not be exposed to people after their death. But maybe, they wouldn't care. They are in a different world!

Aw..I wish someone would have written a similar before I joined K.

I remember feeling deprived of all the fun, when there were no LAN cables available on the campus or anywhere nearby and we had all these new shiny laptops!

I've never felt a need for a laptop bag at campus though....always used to carry in my hand. But yes, will be useful for summers.

I'd also suggest to get a good digital camera (optional) if you are admitted into a scenic place like IIMK. Campus, mess parties, occasional classroom photos, college fests .....you wouldn't wanna miss out on all these! And of course it doubles up as your photostat equipment late night when the library photostat machine is closed.
