Around one most kids start to play with blocks
13
and Don got his first calculator.
14
And as kids get older they get more toys
15
and Don started to collect HIS toys
16
While most kids get a backpack for school books.
17
Don got his first briefcase at age 11.
18
..And eventually Don ended up at
19
Where he got his first desk..
with his own TWO file drawers!

original briefcase was just not quite big enough
21
But after carrying around two or three briefcases
he discovered the.

Don really got excited when desktop computers
first came into the office.

slides like
27

Don was doing, he quickly found he needed more

31
Looping again.
32
And again and again.

And again and again.

Until one day it came time to retire and Don
had accumulated

• 244 linear feet of shelving
• 4.3 tera-bytes of Microsoft mail files
