What to do with old computer books?

[brentman]

I have a collection of old and out of date computer/technology books (Flash 4, Flash MX, Photoshop 6, ASP, etc.) and I have no idea what to do with them? They aren't really of much use to anyone these days. I could just use them as kindling or something but that seems like a real waste. I guess recycling is another option..

Anyone have any other suggestions?

donate them to a local school

FS/FT Charity items? Donation to local library?

I'm sure you guys would just love to get your hands on my copy of Mastering UNIX Serial Communications. 😛

Keep it for a couple hundred years. It'll be worth something.

if I truly see absolutely no use for it in the future, I toss them.

Kindling = recycling in a way...

My school has a program that collects out-of-date textbooks and sends them to Africa.

Is there something similar in your area?

thats something cool i would just keep in a box somewhere and look at it in like 10 to 15 years...My highschool had a few of those huge text books for 3.1 and 95 and they were fairly interesting to look through

Actually I'd probably find that really interesting... is that sad?

Lol, I was in a thrift store yesterday and saw, "An idiot's guide to CDROMs"
It was over 200 pages. . .
I laughed for an hour about that.
My wife called me a geek.

Sigh.
