Yep this is sound advice. I have dozens of screenshots of old websites I built from 1997-2002 and it's fun revisiting them once in a while. It's all sitting in a "_legacy" folder with 104 projects that I've copied from HD to HD over the years.

On the other hand, I have a few old VB6 apps that I didn't release publicly that I wish I had screenshots of because I didn't think about screenshotting them at the time.

Back then taking screenshots was more common I think. Having a "screenshots" section on your tool's website was pretty normal and expected. Especially since back then streaming video wasn't readily available. A screenshot was the only way to showcase what you've built visually. Also for websites you usually had a PSD file with the whole site's layout that you later sliced up into images when creating the markup, so at the very least you probably have that PSD sitting around.
