I had that situation. Then my wife and I moved to a new house and I took the opportunity to donate most of them to the local public library. I realized that I’d rarely opened any of those books in the previous two years (Google is so much easier).

In my office at home, I had a bookshelf full of IT books dating back to Windows 3.1, etc. The bookshelf got full. So I was able to come up with one solution… Get another bookshelf ;-) One of these days, I will toss some of them.

I still have the Windows IT Pro mags too. I get rid of the CIO, Information week, etc. type pubs. I do have about 30 years of Model Railroading mags that I won't get rid of :) My other bad habit is keeping those thick Software books like NT 4.0 Networking, SMS Admin Scripting, Teach yourself C in 21 days, etc. That's where I should clean house...

I still keep my TechNet and Windows IT Pro mags. I threw out all the other mags I had dating back to 1984. I had to get permission from my office landlord to throw them all away because I filled up the dumpster for the building! City recycling didn’t want that much paper. Webster From: Raper, Jonathan - Eagle [mailto:jra...@eaglemds.com] Subject: OT: trade publications - toss or archive? Ok, so I’ll let you in on a little secret. I’m a pack rat. I’m trying to change….really. I’ve got a ton of trade publications, dating back years: Information Week CIO Decisions Technet Windows IT Pro Storage Information Security And I’m sure a few others. For those of you that subscribe to and read these magazines, do you see ANY value in keeping them for any length of time after you’ve skimmed/read them? I’m leaning toward pitching [read: recycling] anything more than 3 months old, but just wanted some objective perspective. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
