Tim Bray about throwing away disks and books:

I dream of a mostly-empty room, brilliantly lit, the outside visible from inside. The chief furnishings would be a few well-loved faces and voices because it’s about people not things. But of course there’d be handy tools there, to bring the universe of words and sounds and pictures to hand on demand. But not get dusty or pile up in corners.

Amen. I’m all about getting rid of everything that could be digital. Although I haven’t thrown anything yet, haven’t bought CD’s in years, the last books I bought were Non-DRM PDFs, and hate every time I’m forced to print something. It’s hard to imagine that we’ll be in a mostly-empty room in the near future (and hope the inside not be visible from the outside) but it definitely sounds great.
