Found Treasure
Does it pay to hoard?
A recent news release on Yahoo drew attention to a disorganized pack rat (is their any other kind?) who made $10,000 on an old valuable magazine issue. It seemed that this 40-yr old issue of the journal Electronics was found under the floorboards of this pack rat's home, and the posting on eBay brought Intel to offer $10,000 for it.
The magazine contains the original publication of a famous article for being the first to articulation of what is known as "Moore's Law."
Well, you never know what you're going to find when you start going through a rat's nest, do you? I am not an advocate to hoard and live like a pack rat -- the point is, people don't know what they have if it's buried, and that's where it will stay if one doesn't clean up.
