Like many of us, retirement is thundering at us like a freight train... Today, I am searching for an Office installation DVD, because Microsoft just makes it so elephanting stupid. I'll wager $50 that there are no useful features in Word added since 200x. Nevertheless, off I went to "I left that $%$^^ dvd somewhere" search to avoid having to subscribe to Microsoft's bull$hit.
I just tossed 50+ dvds of old drivers and os' and what not. I'm getting ready to go on round #2 and 3. It's so easy to accumulate this garbage thinking you might need it.

I'll most likely work until I drop. If there's one thing that has consistently gotten me out of bed in the morning since I was 8, it's coding, and I don't see that changing. I enjoy it too much. It's part of who I am.
I don't even work for the money. I mean I need money, but if I didn't love what I do I'd make the worst employee imaginable. I don't work for the paycheck. I work because of the need to create and build, and the paycheck is a side effect.
If I die at my desk I'll die with a smile.

I still use Office 2003 at home and it does everything I need it too. You can probably find it cheaply on fleabay if you need too. There are also places that re-sell OEM versions very inexpensively. They have MSoffice and a lot of other software. I have used them to buy Win10 for 10 to 15 bucks and I've no issues at all. If you want to see what they have and get a bit of a price break, visit this site : www.guru3d.com[^] and scroll down a bit until you see their advert. BTW - that's a pretty good site for computer hardware reviews. I visit it almost daily.

If I recall correctly, it came with a computer I bought.

I hear ya. I have spindles and spindles and spindles of cds from running a computer shop for the last 30 years. I have just less of a year left on my lease then am calling it quits as in the commercial IT biz, the inmates are running the asylum and it's no fun anymore. I threw out some 30 pin simms and still have a wfw cd and windows 95 - I don't know.

If wfw is windows for Workgroups, the best feature in that OS was multiplayer Hearts.

I can't remember throwing them out, so I may still have the 30+ floppy disks to install Office 4.2, if that helps!

Disk space is cheap. Ridiculously cheap.
I did a massive purge of physical media myself years ago, but not before I converted everything to .ISO files. Mostly MSDN CDs and DVDs.
This is my current Office folder:
12/20/2018 11:15 PM <DIR> 2000
12/22/2018 10:50 AM <DIR> 2003

12/15/2014 11:50 AM <DIR> 2010
03/20/2018 01:52 PM <DIR> 2013
06/09/2018 07:28 AM <DIR> 2016
11/23/2018 01:00 PM <DIR> 2019
10/07/2021 03:41 PM <DIR> 2021
03/02/2014 01:25 PM <DIR> 4.3 Professional
12/04/2013 12:42 PM <DIR> 95
12/20/2018 11:19 PM <DIR> 97
03/02/2014 01:01 PM <DIR> XP
...which reminds me, I never bothered looking for anything newer than 2021, since my employer is now providing me with the subscription-based version.
[Edit]
Doesn't look like there is an Office 2023.

I've also got a collection of Ethernet patch cables and a 16-port Gigabit switch which your message prompted me to check and find that it had 1 active device, apart from the router, and there was a spare port on the router!

I've been doing an attic cleanout for the last couple of months, as my daughter planned to come get all of her stuff. I threw out two 30 gallon trash bags of cables. None of the discarded cables were for a connection technology I'm still using. Coax (cable TV), RCA audio plugs, SVHS video, early USB, RS-232, Centronics parallel. Probably came to over $5,000 when originally purchased, and now not even useful for garroting politicians.
