Would be nice to save what of this can still be recovered.

It was disturbing to hear DECUS threw stuff out, but not

surprising.  I know of other such actions.  Stuff Dennis

Ritchie donated to a former East Coast Computer Museum

was discarded and I also know of stuff given to USENIX

that they tossed (luckily some of that has been recovered

but I am sure much was lost permanently).
