ABSTRACT	This paper describes an interview that investigated how people organize and find electronic documents on their computers. Fifteen Macintosh users were interviewed regarding their problems and approaches to filing and finding information. We found no evidence that users are having serious trouble finding files on their personal computers. We uncovered patterns of behavior that seem best described in terms of three types of information: ephemeral, working, and archived.	SVM HeaderParse 0.2
