reallyJimStaring at my bookshelf during a meeeting. I still have a lot of old programming books--outdated tech, stuff from 2005 and beyond. Some of it is still relevant as refernce material, but books on ASP.NET 3.5 or SSRS 2005... I hate just recycling this stuff, but what do you do with it?

RJ@reallyjim@universeodon.com You think you've got problems throwing away old tech books...
Bill Fellows@reallyjim@universeodon.com You've come to the same conclusions as me: library/used book stores don't want them so it's into the recycling bucket.
Pained me to chuck the biblical width hard-back Java books from 1999(?) during the last tech book purge but what was I or any other person going to do with applets?
I'd thought about framing them up as a large archery backstop but the boys aren't into it any more.

Many of these I bought new, blew through them, then never returned to. Others I bought used (ClickOnce) while working on a work project and needing to better understand...and haven't looked at it in 10 years.
@reallyjim@universeodon.com give them to your library, let them decide.

I remember those! The ones with the gold covers, right?
reallyJim@dof@mstdn.social When the tech is that old, they don't want them.
reallyJim@dof@mstdn.social and sane with used book stores, even if you don't expect anything in return.
