This was one of the first features in Master-timer.

In 2,5 years i have record around 3000 (2,5 * 365 / 3000 = 3.29 per day)
series and movies. Currently more "done"-file has 2927 entries, but i
deleted around 1000 entries a few days ago. Because of declining DVD-R
prices i have decided to lower the bar for archiving.

That Master-Timer deletes programmed double timers(*), and won't program
them ever again is an other story. :-)

A funny side-effect of this feature is that i don't delete my
"torecord"-entries. Once upan a time, as i tested a new feature, i made
the error to move away my done-list and "eh voila" i had 250 programmed
timers.



*: The run after they got "done".

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as 
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, 
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
