With great sorrow

I can understand the "1 year, 2 year..." rule in principle, but I would never pick a hard date for anything for myself and say "this needs to go" merely because of age. I'm much more likely to thin based on what's interesting than when it was last powered on. I go in bursts on things. I also flit and dabble. Several times a year, I finish projects that I started more than 5 years ago. So far, the longest time between start and finish is somewhere around 22 years (porting "Zork I" to the PET). I do finish old projects, just not fast enough to please some people. -ethan
