It was thus said that the Great Fred Cisin once stated:
A few years ago, they dumpstered most of Monte's collection two
weeks BEFORE the deadline that they had given him to remove it.
I had to get my VT100 back from their dumpster.
I was able to negotiate keeping a single 4 foot wide shelf
of artifacts. But they threatened Monte with criminal
prosecution if he went near the dumpsters.
Um ... who's Monte, and why did they do such a horrible thing to him?
They won't even willingly let me store my weapons
of math instruction.
(abacus, slide rule, board with 32 lightbulbs, 24" CADET? disk
platter, etc.) Fortunately, they haven't been looking behind
the books on my bookshelves :-)
But one administrator has expresses an intent to forbid
any of us having more than one bookcase!
Wanna know WHY I'm grumpy?
I want to know why they're taking stuff away from you. That's insane!
Unless there's a concerted effort to remove education from "the great
unwashed masses" without "the great unwashed masses" from knowing ...

real universities?)
