 Cleaning Up
picture I'm going through stuff in my house, to get ready for moving, throwing away junk and finding important documents, etc. And, well, it is both refreshing to clear away crud, and it can be enjoyable to find old stuff that didn't get thrown away, and sometimes embarrassing to find what hides in the corners. I just found an unopened christmas present from several years ago. And I finally found our Danish driver's licenses which we'll need. Mine is valid for another 26 years. The picture there is from my international driver's license in 1981. Gee, I loved that fake fur coat. In the same box was a stack of old papers from Denmark. Report cards from high school, bus passes, etc. And old computer papers, which are amusingly nostalgic now. My member card for The Source, a reference card for DOS 2.0, for WordStar, MultiPlan. The manual for my 300baud modem. The ad for TurboPascal I tore out of Byte. 5 1/4" floppies with programs I wrote in Basic or Pascal on my IBM PC. A hand drawn map of Colossal Cave from Adventure.
