Bedroom Archaeology

This is painful. a 28.8k modem. a Macintosh Performa 6300CD (my parents are getting my old 6500/250 as soon as I can reformat it and send it to them) that has a monitor where only the green channel works. Wow. VT-100 emulation never looked so good.

So I’m at home cleaning out FOUR years of boxes of paper. Yes. See, everytime I moved out of a dorm, I’d simply dump everything into boxes, swearing up and down to my Mother that I would sort them the minute I got home. Did I? Of course not.

It’s amazing what I’m discovering. I’ve got lyrics I forgot I wrote (some of which aren’t half bad), drawings and papers that were actually pretty decent considering the complete and utter load of BS that is in them, and little momentos and items that brought a smile to my face.

So to everyone who says otherwise, Being a pack rat is a good thing, just clean out every once in a while. And God bless Adobe Acrobat. I’m going to scan all this stuff in and convert to .pdf and burn it to a CD and forget the paper ever existed. Hallelujah technology strikes again.
