Chap I shared an office with at SLAC back in the 80s was one of these
hoarders. We not only had the current set of VMS doc in the office, but the
complete previous set too, while he had the set before that in his garage at
home.
He was the sort of chap who, if you asked him for the 3-page doc that you'd
loaned him a month previously, could unerringly poke into the 3-foot high pile
(er, one of the piles, sorry), on his desk and pull it out straight away, with
zero search time. This made complaining about the paper piles futile. "Works
for me!"
