Yeah, I still had most of those until recently... even the floppies just in case I can find an old computer slow enough for me to play my old "JetFighter 2" game that I loved so much. You could, if you're hesitant to throw away the stuff completely, just back it up to digital. I'm sure you can scan negatives (I even think there's an adapter or scanner specifically for that) and save them to digital. Last year I copied all my old floppies, as well as some vhs and audio cassette stuff, over to my computer so that I could get rid of the physical bulk without losing the good stuff. Worked out pretty well. Ha!

He keeps them "just in case". I threw out negatives years ago as well as floppy disks. You should see Dad’s pile of VHS tapes. He keeps them “just in case”.

You've just described my life. But no one living here is motivated to do a thing about it, sadly. I have piles EVERYWHERE! On counters, on top of the fridge, beside the bed... under the bed. It's a neverending bloody nightmare, I tell you! See...someone does read your entries once you direct us to them... Dan… You’ve just described my life.
