I kept them for a while since for several years I was rebuilding old computers. But I haven't done that for over ten years and I need the shelf space now.

I suspect it will all go into recycling. I have posted on another forum which used to have some vintage (Win3.1, Win XP) fans so maybe some of them might want some of it.

Anymore I don't buy books for reference (other than building web sites) - I just Google the problems.
