If you have a lot of computer games and programs, an easy way to keep track of them and keep the ones you use most right at your fingertips is to invest in a CD folder. You can even get them at the dollar store now, and there are usually about 12 pockets in the small ones.
What I do is I put games in two, and computer programs like my backup disks, in another. I organize the disks with the ones we use most in front, and put the folders in my computer desk. All the big bulky boxes the games come in and the plastic cases are in a box in storage and I have a lot more room around my computer, plus all my disks are in one spot and easy to get to.

This is a really good idea. Space around the computer is always limited, so getting rid of all the bulky boxes would really streamline things, and get rid of the clutter. Thanks for the idea - I'm doing it today!
The computer games, and games like the Wii are great stress relievers for our study groups that are here about 3-4 nights a week. They take a break, grab a bite to eat and play a game for 15-20 minutes and then study for another couple of hours.
Sometimes, they have little contests between partners which is fun to watch them too. I don't know one earthly thing about any game after the first Super Mario. I loved that one. I think it was on Nintendo though. I can't keep track of all the different types of machines and the games that's played on them. I like some of the graphics on them though. Very colorful and they look like fun. They take some skill to play them too, and I've read that children who play them have better learning skills and coordination. They're not all bad.
You definitely need some kind of organized way of keeping them. The DVDs too. And now with BluRay which I love, there's a lot more to see and enjoy.
Thumbs up. Pookarina
