Re: [OT] Old books

[David Richards]

Older texts don't seem to be that relevant anymore.  These days, we use far
fewer key strokes to produce something far simpler, intended to appeal to a
wider audience that seems to struggle with anything too complex.  The same
could be said for the VB6 and java texts :)

I'm pleased you're suggesting that VB6 will *not* have historical respect
equal to Beethoven's manuscripts!? -- *GK*

Recycling is probably more environmentally friendly than fires or landfill. 
Some old paper stuff – Beethoven’s manuscripts for example, are probably worth 
a lot of money. VB6 or Java books, not so much ☺

I suspect a lot of these have been digitised already – if not, perhaps you 
could?

Anything general like design patterns or database design should have some
interest at colleges or libraries

Sadly, I also did a purge a few months ago and 40kg of once impressive IT
tomes are now landfill. It's just the way of things now -- *Greg*

[OT] Old books

[Tom P]

Does any one here know what I can do with old programming books? I
inherited most from family and friends and most are quite old, maybe 10-20
years old. MFC c++, .Net 2.0, vb6, Java and so on.
