“The strategic value of clear space”
Brilliant
I'm taking carload after carload of stuff from my basement to the recycling place and to Goodwill. Slowly but surely getting more 'strategic clear space' !
But... just found a big box full of brand new but ancient IT software on CD's with user manuals (COBOL and mainframe programming testing tools) and I think I'll have to just shove it into a corner. Can't bear to throw it out, and I'm sure no one wants it, even for free. lol...
Why? Just because it was never used, why would you keep it? That's a slippery slope.
Try eBay! They might sell either as collectibles (like this) or to some organization that is actually still using those things for legacy compatibility issues (maybe like this? 9 of 10 have already sold).
OK, now you've done it! I am going to save it. I have sooooo much stuff to deal with, sometimes I find out later that I donated an
expensive item, or sold something at the rummage sale for way too little. Argghh.
Anyway, yesterday I found 10 huge old binders of original IBM computer manuals like IBM mainframe 360 systems commands, OS stuff, error codes, cobol abends, and on and on and on...
I have already checked out selling them and found some iffy results on eBay. Hard to tell if there was a market
for these old manuals. I'm so sick of figuring out if something will sell, and I realized I wished I had never found the darn things
in the first place, so I clicked open all the binders, dumped all the pages into a big box, about 20 pounds worth, and took them all
down to the recycling center. Now someone will tell me I could have sold them for good money on the internet! lol...
