Organization, Software:
There’s been a big push here to organize the tons of CDs and DVDs in the house that are home-made - DVDs off of the TiVo, of course, are the big item, but there’s a ton of outdated software stuff around, and I’m tired of scratching for things when I need them.
All of the software is being taken out of jewel cases and the like and stuck in paper sleeve things. Much of the really old stuff is being thrown out; I’m keeping things like Windows 95 install CDs for Just In case situations where someone else needs it. Games are sorted into sets - totally obsolete goes out the door and into the trash, maybes are grouped together and stored in the sleeves, and the probably use ones are sleeved in a separate group. Keeping many driver disks. Keeping all of the old Adobe disks - even though I’m unlikely to go back in time from Adobe CS3, I still have occasional need for the old stuff. Keeping all of the old TurboTax and Quicken disks, but they’re essentially archived.
All of the ‘inactive’ stuff is being stuck away into my deep storage, and the ‘live’ stuff will probably only take up one storage box on my shelves.
