holyschistEven though I know intellectually that I'm making progress, I don't feel that way. I'm seriously starting to consider the "cover clutter you're not working on with a sheet" method.
As usual, I haven't been keeping track of numbers precisely, especially outs (generally underestimated). I've probably forgotten some things.

And now, a question for the community:
DVD cases.
I'm going to stick all the DVDs (and we only have about two shelves of one bookcase--not a lot compared to most geeks of our acquaintance) into sleeves in a binder to save shelf space. The question is what to do with the cases.
1. Stick them in a box in our storage unit (our storage unit is mostly for camping gear--too expensive to replace all the time, too bulky to reasonably store in our current apartment. I know, storage units are bad, but $30/month is way cheaper than moving to a larger place).
2. Recycle (?) or throw them away.
The only pro I see to keeping them, since I sincerely doubt most of them would be "worth more" with original packaging, is that someday I would like to have a house, and one thing I enjoy about visiting friends is looking at their bookshelves and DVDs (it's one of the big drawbacks to digital, IMO). So I would like to be able to have the DVDs all out in their nice cases to look at.
But...houses are a long way away, and I'm not sure this is really all that important, anyway. OTOH, as there aren't that many, it's not like the cases would take up that much storage space.
Any pro/con arguments I'm not thinking of?
