They're finally going to throw away all my and my predeceased predecessor's carefully horded junk.
I is devastated.
Life will never be the same again.
You need to quickly hide the lot of it..... just chuck out all the Tulip thats clogging up your desk drawers, filing cabinets, desk footwells, store rooms, corridiors etc and hide all your stuff there.......

But leave a bit of (more) useless tat in place to give them the impression that they've cleared you out...

People used to ask me why I kept an old x-ray tube carefully stuffed away in a box with lots of other old tubes, and I used to tell them that one day I might well need it.
Well, as it so happens one day someone came to me with a very sick parrot and I was able to build an x-ray machine from junk, took this photo and an emergency vet used it to save his life.
I still haven't gotten around to throwing out thise VC/VB 6.0 MCSD training kit, and COM books, etc.
I found old copies of Oracle's magazine the other day; I don't even use Oracle anymore.
I'm due for a good clean out. Last one was in January when I threw away copies of the now defunct Trader Monthly Magazine. I think I had copies going back to late 2006.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

And now, I don't have any of them.
There is something curiously therapeutic about throwing things out. It has a sort of Zen feeling to it.

I have copies of "Program Now" and "EXE" upstairs.
I've got a few copies of EXE.
I also have an extensive collection of Personal Computer World spanning three decades. The oldest has the TRS-80 on the cover; I think it was the fourth issue, dated September 1978
My oldest issue of Byte appears to be the May 1985 one.

So, you just tell them: NO!
Threaded, I find it hard to believe that you can get all so excited over a Cockatoo.
