My ex used to say it would be cheaper if I used cocaine.  I've got about
10,000 books, collected over the last 44 years since my aunt gave me my
first hardback book as a Christmas present.

Movers hate me.  Bookcase builders, on the other hand, think I'm marvelous.

I've considered selling most of my books and only keeping the collectors
editions or ones that are special to me in some way.  This is a great idea
until I walk in the library and try to decide which ones to sell.  Kind of
like my children, they are each special in their own way, with memories
attached.

However, I am willing to part with the 9 different Cold Fusion 4.0 books I
have, and the 19 copies of Windows NT workstation.  Or the shelf full of
unopened DOS based computers games.  Or my copy of Lotus 123 Version 1, if
anyone wants it.
