what don't you need to update

[Michael]

what I mean by easier is if I have to reinstall the OS/get a new computer
it is easier to write it into a text file, save it in gmail as a draft, and
then open up that draft if I need it. I have a LOT of drafts like this.
Commands, paragraphs that I have to repeat, stuff like that. You might
think I'm an idiot but let my idiocy inspire you!
