 How important is it to keep old catalogs, cross-reference data,
 component buyers guides, data books, data sheets, etc.??? I've collected
 a LOT of the above from about the mid 70's and while not ready to
 dispose of it yet, I am really curious what others on this list think
 about keeping such stuff. As for some examples:

 RCA SK Cross Reference/Replacement Catalog
 1974 IC Master 
Those are definitely worth keeping, if you do repairs or build your own
hardware.

...
  1976 C&K Switch Catalog 
Probably.

...
  Printouts of instructions for CP/M utilities,
programs, etc. 
Depends on the programs.  The common ones aren't hard to find docs for on
the net.  If you have the software, keep the printouts.
