We started working on the basement yesterday.  To do this while my husband is in the house was a big mistake.  We have computer games that work on Windows 98.  None of our computers are Win 98.  They were programs that we'd forgotten about, updated or no one would use.  I decided to throw them away.

My husband came down to see what we were doing.  Within 3 minutes he had a few of the CDs pulled out of the trash saying they were fine.  He became a bit upset that I was throwing away "perfectly good pc games and programs".   He insisted that there are things one can do to run older PC CDs.   I told him I didn't care.  No one had touched them for years.  We didn't need them, and they were just taking up space.

He started having a minor fit, so I called a halt to cleaning the basement figuring the kids and I would restart Monday when he wasn't around.  I knew there was a big box of programs that he didn't know about.   If there is anything I know he would really want to keep, I'll set it aside.  It would just be less stressful if I didn't have to fight to throw out each item.

Unfortunately, my head is starting to pound and my throat is itchy.  It looks like I'm catching the flu bug several in the family currently have.  I guess we'll see how we all feel on Monday, but I'm determined to get even just one box cleared.
