A bit of telecoms history off to recycling

2 Comments

This time I really am going to do it. About 4 years ago I had a grand clear-out of my office and decided that my archive of telecoms software and manuals had to go. I offered them to anyone who was interested and a few items were snapped up. The rest are still sitting here in a box and I am offering them again to anyone who might be interested for historical reasons, research or whatever. You do not have to take the whole lot. Let me know if you are interested. Closing date  is 28th May 2012 when they are definitely off to recycling.

  2. What memories! I have some of those documents cluttering the shelves myself, and a few more of similar antiquity. Old coms software, old modem manuals, a fat folder from the time Dialog encouraged individuals to sign up for non-commercial use, and some wonderful old coms magazines. Plus old computer manuals and a few old computers … maybe I ought to be chucking stuff out too!
