Well here's a positive story on keeping surv'things:
So I used to be a sociology professor in the good old days (like the
60's and 70's). So I keep boxes of these old, old research papers,
lecture notes, etc. -- just in case I will need them some day for
something.
Years ago, Ram Dass (Richard Alpert) gives a lecture how he kept his
old academic papers, but it was just a psychological way of holding
onto his old identity as an academic. So he threw them out. I kept
mine.
About 18 (eighteen) years after I quit ``professoring'' I get a phone
call from England. An academic journal for the University of Manchester
wants to devote a special issue or so to my former research papers.
I devotedly dig them up from the storage locker and send them off.
They retype them and they are getting republished -- in part because I
kept my old papers.
I also still have that Scott audio receiver I bought in 1970 -- still
works like a charm. Pack Rats, surv'thing-savers take heart!
