Does anyone else keep documents that are long past their sell by date and yet continue to take up space on the hard drive? I do this. I'm asking this because tonight I found an old text file I had back in 1999, when I joined a Star Trek Play by Email game. The text file is the bio for my character. Take a look:

Personal Information:
Maximillian Thomas Parker was born in one of the few remaining suburbs of Cincinnati, OH, United States of America, Earth. Born in a devoutly Christian family, Maximillian had a natural affinity toward religions & cultures. He became an astrophysicist' assistant for 2 semesters in Starfleet Academy, and was awarded a Daystrom Institute commendation for discovering a tertiary star system located at Trieps-Avalon, along the outer boundaries of the Andromeda galaxy, in which was causing odd magnetic effects for a quasar 23 light years away from the system.
Aside from a pre-occupation with space, Mr. Parker repairs standard issue items such as transporters, replicators, synthesizers & assorted sensor equipment. Gregarious and laid back, Mr. Parker also has a deep sense of ethic and a strong conviction for his job. There is nothing more important than making sure the job is done on time, on demand, and on target. He attended the Vulcan Science Academy for 4 years as an understudy, working with Professors such as S'akel, the Vulcan Physicist who discovered anionic compounds could form a lateral, yet cohesive bond, inducing structural binding greater than 15% of standard.
After a very brief hiatus, Mr. Parker was accepted into Starfleet Academy, where his major became Quantum Mechanics and Field Theory. After several minor incidents which cost him 1/3 of his Academy Credits, Grounds keeper Boothby had him reinstated on the terms he complete an academic triathlon later that year.
Mr. Parker is certified in Quantum Engineering, Replacement Systems, Delta Warp Physics & Emergency EVA Repairs. Mr. Parker is also Vegan, and wears a small tatoo on his right arm, of a Triad. The religious connotations unknown to most races, it is a symbol of Mr. Parker's beliefs. In his spare time, he enjoys a game of chess, or reads technical manuals on new grade vessels. When assignment to the Exultation was posted, Maximillian Thomas Parker signed on, eager to explore the unknown, and explain the unexplained.
