I'm in the process of harvesting files from my old Mac, in preparation for getting rid of it. I'm having to use floppies to transfer anything I want to keep, so that's forcing me to be pretty selective. It's just as well, I have no reasons beyond sentiment to keep anything.
However, I am definitely keeping all the old letters to friends, and the homemade graphics, and even some college papers and other writings. I haven't looked at a lot of this in a very long time, and I am glad to have the chance to see it now.
This'll be the first time since 1984 that I haven't owned some sort of Apple computer. I'm not quite nostalgic enough to keep this one around, though. It's a Performa, which was bad enough when it worked. The modem and ethernet card are both dead, and for years it hasn't displayed any red in its colors.

Have you thought of donating your old computer? That's what I did, via Share the Technology, which has a searchable donation database, so you can find someone near where you are. They'll usually come pick it up from you, even. A lot of the places that are requesting Macs say they'll take anything from a Quadra on up, and they take old printers and stuff too.
