There comes a time when there's no one left that understands what stuff is or
what value it might have.  They're just to new or out of the loop for
understanding.

Had a ripper one year, when a large IT group moved in about 6 addresses down
from a store I was working in.  That first year, I think they went through
about a dozen dumpsters nothing less than 9 cubic metres... everything from
XT age through to 386's went out that year... and everything in between. I
colleted a heap, having a Van at the time helped, but in the end I told
everyone else I knew what was in there and even then so much stuff just got
carted away it was incredible.
