Depends on the files and of what use they might be to me at some point
in the future. :D Review copies I usually don't need. Soft copies of
completed work come with me because I may need to reprint work samples
should my two cats somehow get hold of the hard copy printouts. My call
either way.
Enjoy your new job, wherever it is. :D
