I'm curious because I keep all the entries in my electronic calendar for many years. Currently I go back to 2000 on my desktop & iPod. I keep paper copies back even further, to 1989 and also PDF files as well. I like having backups of my calendar items.

The reason is I often have to go figure out what we did when and it may be years in the past that we did it.
I guess I don't feel the need to. My calendar items consist mostly of birthdays, deposit dates, due dates, meetings, remind myself about/to ____, so I don't think it's necessary to keep records. If it's something I'd like to remind myself about, say the day I got baptized, I'd put it on next year like "my baptism year 2007" and repeat it yearly. Again I delete it the day right after that date next year. I like to see my calendar clean of any flags from yesterday and beyond when I have it on week/month/year view.
