Hey Joey:

I think it was during the time that Dhimant was crashing with you, and I was visiting from time to time. You all were on your wine kick and I was sadly waiting to go to McGill! Crazy that it’s still in yer little box!

So what version Symbolics machine is it and is it salvageable?

Letters cut out from magazine text? Joey — are you saving ransom notes?

On the subject of miscellaneous stuff left behing, the cloth Internet World trade show bag is mine… I used it to carry the Elvis paper plates — and, ok, some beer — to your birthday party, then forgot it there. It’s not a treasured memento; more of a souvenir from the good ol’ heady days.

I questioned Joey’s decision to throw them all away too. But it’s what he wants to do, and I’m certainly happy he wants to focus on me. I have very few old letters myself, but I think I will keep the printout of an email from my old boyfriend Mike which misspells “drunk” a few times. Nothing mushy, just amusement.

No comment on the filters.

I love you my honey.

“presumably filters of some sort — of unknown purpose and provenance”

Um… fine metal mesh circular filters? Like the kind that go in a hash pipe?

Thats another reference that’ll soon be antiquated… who smokes hash anymore…

Why throw ‘em out? Are you & W going to be that pressed for storage space? They’ll be just as entertaining to read a couple decades from now. Make a time capsule!

Or better yet, figure out a way to insert them into the walls of your house. Then 200 years from now when the house is demolished to build a condo or renovated for the Xth time some contractor will find your treasure trove…

This post demonstrated that it’s always fun to look back. While now you’ve probably had your fill of the old letters, in the future you might regret tossing away so much of your history. In thirty years you won’t remember them nearly as well, and you’ll wish that you never threw them away.

Trust me, I know; I did something similiar.

Now I’m half-curious to read the searing indictment…

Great post! It (almost) made me want to move just so I could find cool old stuff like that
