"Forever" being a very accurate word. The oldest one I still use quite often is dated '2002'.

I try to keep going through my scripts directory in an attempt to clear out the old and/or unused stuff. But I'm fighting a losing battle. Only 559 scripts according to this:

     m70t [jvs] /home/jvs/bins [master*] > ls | wc
         559     559    7423

<grin>
