You delete my old files from my department's network shares, and I'll come
looking for you. Then we'll both make the local news. ;-)

May I recommend that you look at both Remote Storage Services and at Offline
Storage? If your shares are well-organized, you ought to be able to archive
to long-term storage files from old projects or that sort of thing. But in
my experience, people will go back to 'dead' files, read them, or take a
copy as the basis for a new document. Just because no one has needed to
update the Programming Style Guidelines manual in nearly three years does
not mean no one is using it. And disk is cheap these days, relatively
speaking. It's just a matter of managing, although these days its more a
matter of AV scanning taking too long than backups taking too long.

And don't let your UNIX guy intimidate you. Read the UNIX-Haters Handbook,
and you'll realize that some folks consider losing your data a right of
passage. ;-)
