There's something terrible about about the word obsolete. The tragedy of lost potential. Of staying the same while the world around you changes and suddenly there is no room for you anymore.
I know I'm being stupid when I try to hold on to old cassettes and players and even that very old typewriter. But maybe it's the fear that I will some day be reduced to their state. With all my glory in the past.

u know what. I was thinking the exact same thing a few days back. I was home cleaning out and discovered our old VCR..
but then are they really obsolete.. Aren't they fragments of memories.. at the very least they might become an arefact someday..
anyway, decided against disposing it off.. thought I'd preserve it for old times sake :)
I thought of keeping everything I came across - now we have a room full of stuff to keep. :)
