[dba-Tech] Outlook too Small? (was:The walking dead)

Huh? Why did you not turn off archiving? I've never had it turned on. I have
all my emails from the mid 90s. When I update Outlook (I'm using 2010), my
pst goes to the new version. I have thousands of emails from all those years
(my pst is almost 3gig) and don't have any problem finding an email.
