I shred CDs and prints of photos for that matter. But that's just me. You can't keep your shredder for long though if you're doing it at home. I recommend the shred bins at your office for the CDs. Photos just require a pair of scissors. I know it sounds weird, but if it's a BAD picture of me or something like a dance I went to with an awkward exboyfriend, I don't want someone at the dump to see it and feel bad for me. I always feel bad if I see an old photo and wonder why it was thrown out. Though now that I type it out I guess people finding my shredded photos might thing that the crazy people on 106th street are full of rage against their past. Wow. I still say SHRED SHRED SHRED! It also gives one such a sense of accomplishment. Hm. I shred CDs and prints of photos for that matter. But that’s just me. You can’t keep your shredder for long though if you’re doing it at home.

I have a CD sporting terminal applications that came packaged with a ISA modem. I might even have the ISA modem, but I'm not sure... You're probably right, I would never miss most of them. But I'm sure as hell keeping the games! The legitimate ones, at least... Man, I have a NETSCAPE CD from Barnes and Nobles.

I've slowly misplaced or thrown them away over the years, and I have never missed them. The antique market for aging discs is awful, and whatever small moments of nostalgia I might get aren't, for me, worth the effort of storing the darn things. And... AOL? You still have AOL CDs? I miss the days when they came on (reusable!) floppies. :-) I once had a collection of discs very similar. I’ve slowly misplaced or thrown them away over the years, and I have never missed them.
