This afternoon, I took out another box of computer printouts from storage and started going through them. This was a combined box, having printouts from two previously-gone-through boxes. (The last time I accessed it was 2000 or 2001.) Most of it was old email. Some of it was copies of what I already went through. Some of it was too painful to read. So I pitched most of it into the recycle pail. I culled a few things I'd like to either save or scan, like "The Companion's Holiday" poem that a friend and fraternity brother (now deceased) sent me.

I have enough pieces of paper floating around or filed away, and I'm fighting an ongoing battle with reducing it. Unless it's a club newsletter, I really don't need to have paper floating around if I haven't looked at it in over five years. I'd rather store the information electronically. I couldn't do that in college because I didn't have a computer.

I also pulled out box 131, which had plastic carrying cases for floppy disks, some floppy disk mailers, an old 5 1/4" floppy drive, some 5 1/4" disks, and some brand-new QIC-80 tapes that were still in the shrink wrap. I'm going to freecycle most of it after the Thanksgiving holiday is over.
