software boxes?

[verbminx]

OK, what do you guys do with the boxes from software? Save them, or just keep the software around in its jewel case and file away the papers somewhere less space-consuming?

I keep all mine - in pristine yet dusty condition, as befits someone who is both obsessive and lazy - but I'm trying to decide whether or not to just condense them. I keep most software (that has to be run from its cd, like most games) by my computer, but if it's a productivity software like Dreamweaver it's kept in its box over on the shelf.

Maybe a happy medium is in order... productivity kept in boxes, and games have their boxes thrown away? Let me know what you guys do! I need PERSPECTIVE! auk! auk!

We don't think arwen_isobel would do well in this kind of complex. She'd get us kicked out for noise complaints within a month, because she'd bark at every little neighbor-noise. So we're stilllllll looking....)

Thats what I thought would happen to my dog. I live in a townhouse and share one cardboard-thin wall with a family. She is a small breed and the most neurotic dog I have ever met. She used to bark at things she imagined hearing at our old house, she barks at loud things like the door bell, or the door bell on tv or the doorbell next door, and the mailman and the kid who comes to put coupons on the door. But other than that she has been very very well behaved I'm surprised.

Plus I'm very quiet and the people next door are....not (see the entry a few days ago about people knocking on my wall at 3:30 in the morning). So I will occasionally blast music loudly up until 10 when I don't think they're home or let the dog bark longer than she needs to when someone knocks on their door. Chances are your neighbors will be louder than you are.
