Ok Al, about where do you rate yourself.
Tough question.. I have WAAAAAY too much stuff right now. I made the
decision about five years ago to get rid of all of my paper by scanning
it and donating it to the CHM. The first part mostly happened, but getting
rid of the paper didn't and now I have 10x the paper that I did five years
ago.
I have decided to dispose of a LOT of what I currently have. There is one
meta project, the preservation of documentation and software that has to
guide what I keep and what I get rid of. Since I don't beleive in using
old systems for the recovery of old data, many of the machines I have could
go.
The physical mechanisms that are necessary (like disc and tape drives) will
stay, interfaced to more modern harware.
