I have a cabinet in the basement store room that is filled with CDROMs. The cabinet is filled with game CD's, program CD's, cdroms that come with new computers, audio CDs, and many many backups of computers, documents, videos, and pictures.
I decided to tackle the CD's and I filled an entire garbage bag! I had Windows 98 installation CDROMs and a bunch of Windows 98 games and programs. Old versions of Turbo tax that we buy every year. I had many ten and fifteen year old training CDROMs for my work. There were many music CDs I had created, but in the age of online streaming music, who listens to music CDs?
As I was purging, I came to realize that almost none of our computers have CDROMS anymore. Even if I wanted to use these CD's, I don't have many machines left that I use those CDs on.
Any CDROM that I created went into the garbage. Some of the CDROMs that were created by a manufacturer will go into a "free" bin at the spring yard sale, but most of them also went into the garbage..
