29NOV35x4Radio would make a nice file name. I'm surprised you haven't used it before. Isn't it incredibly easy to interpret? Sure, if you happen to be Dagnar from the planet Zorbatt. Unless your intentions are to keep a file from prying eyes, I offer the following suggestion. When it comes to naming a document, use the first three or four keywords that come off the top of your head. Why? Because as your collection grows, so will your confusion. Even obsessive-compulsives like myself can stray from congruous conventions. If your eyes can't spot an object within ten seconds, start thinking of launching Explorer's Search (or Find) applet. Here's where those keywords can come in handy. You know you're looking for something that has to do with "Radio" and "November" but you can't remember the exact project name. Well, if your document largely dealt with Radio, you'd be silly not to have that word somewhere in its file name. Again, this will become increasingly useful as your index grows. Your productivity is paramount; don't waste time looking when Windows will do it for you.
