o Why have five of something? A quantity of a thing
past three
seems excessive: One to use, one for spare, so the third one
is the only excess I try to allow.
Well, except if you actually use more than one. I have a large number
of Suns, for example (and most of them are on-topic by now, I think,
even) - but most of my live machines are Suns, and something like half
to two-thirds of my Suns are normally in live use. (Not in live use at
the moment, but that's because my machine room has been cut back to
something moderately minimal, pending finding the round tuits to do
some major physical reorganization.)
o Share. If your conscience gets in the way of a
throw, go here
(classiccmp).
I am accumulating quite a pile of stuff that is going to leave the
house one way or another, and you can be sure that (aside from people
met by chance who are interested, like the neighbour who wandered in
and ended up leaving with a printer from that pile) classiccmp will get
first crack at it. Almost all of it is firmly on-topic, after all.
