Decisions you regret (classiccmp related)

[Ian S. King]

We were moving, and my Spousal Unit convinced me to toss things I hadn't
touched in a while - including my Intercept Jr. with the 32K battery-backed
RAM card, and an old-style acoustic coupler modem.  <sigh>  Now that I'm
considering a major move again (after my daughter goes off to college, in a
couple of years) she's started making those noises again.  We'll see what
gets left behind this time....
