I'm glad for this thread. It kept me from tossing the Commodore 16 box
away. Too late though for the beautiful NeXT boxes that went to recycling.
I didn't have room. I should have known better.
That sound you hear is Larry Walker and Brian Mahoney loading their
rifles.

I keep all boxes that I get until a better one comes
along. John

A couple of months back I bought a second-hand Commodore 1570 disk drive.
It came in the original box, which is, alas, in very poor condition. The
polystyrene is cracked and has chunks missing. The cardboard sleeve is
torn/ragged.
Is there any point in keeping it? I don't normally care about the packing
boxes for computers, but I know some people do. Also, I believe the 1570
is not the most common CBM drive, so presumably the boxes for them aren't
that common either.
