You are the type who leaves one or two glaring mistakes in your documents
to satisfy the reviewers aren't you? Works for me.

Threaded, I find it hard to believe that you can get all so excited over a Cockatoo.
HAB , maybe

Yeah, evil blessed things, but still one of Gods creatures.

I have copies of "Program Now" and "EXE" upstairs.

IIRC In a basement at one of my homes I've several copies of Elektor, Wireless World, Practical Wireless, Practical Electronics, Byte, .EXE, RadCom, Electronics Today International, Everyday Electronics and many many others.

You can bet that as soon as the dustman has taken them away that I'll have reason to look something up in one of them.

I once inherited a cupboard full of DEC PDP-11 manuals. Cleared them out into a cardboard box and wrote on it "Chuck if nobody needs them by <date-one-year-from-now>".

Sure enough, about a week after flinging them along came the ex-employee who was maintaining some legacy systems ...

Hey, some of us are still developing in COM thank you very much

People used to ask me why I kept an old x-ray tube carefully stuffed away in a box with lots of other old tubes, and I used to tell them that one day I might well need it.

Well, as it so happens one day someone came to me with a very sick parrot and I was able to build an x-ray machine from junk, took this photo and an emergency vet used it to save his life.

So, you just tell them: NO!

I've got a few copies of EXE.

I also have an extensive collection of Personal Computer World spanning three decades. The oldest has the TRS-80 on the cover; I think it was the fourth issue, dated September 1978

My oldest issue of Byte appears to be the May 1985 one.

I found old copies of Oracle's magazine the other day; I don't even use Oracle anymore.

I'm due for a good clean out. Last one was in January when I threw away copies of the now defunct Trader Monthly Magazine. I think I had copies going back to late 2006.

And now, I don't have any of them.

There is something curiously therapeutic about throwing things out. It has a sort of Zen feeling to it.

But leave a bit of (more) useless tat in place to give them the impression that they've cleared you out...

They're finally going to throw away all my and my predeceased predecessor's carefully horded junk.

I is devastated.

Life will never be the same again.

[DaveB]

But what about all those cunning plans that relied on that junk as a source of parts?

Is this the end of the GAL invasion force?

Will ZG manage to hide his junk and fool the authorities?

All these questions and more will be answered in next weeks episode of...

Who Ate All The Students?

[cojak]

You need to quickly hide the lot of it..... just chuck out all the Tulip thats clogging up your desk drawers, filing cabinets, desk footwells, store rooms, corridiors etc and hide all your stuff there.......
