Well, been there; done that; and not yet it hasn't :(

I've already skipped one car bootload of DTP stuff (just abut everything 
you can think of, including some very esoteric mags) dating all the way 
back to 1984, because no interest.

I'm now preparing another car bootload of purely Linux magazines, if 
anyone's evern remotely interested.

It's a shame to bin them, because they're in excellent nick; and I know 
from amateur radio experience that in 70 years' time people will be 
bemoaning the fact that nothing was kept -- but these days everyone's 
too busy playing with the latest smartphone app. to bother about 
actually reading any long discursive text.

[I dread getting to when I have to unload my collection(s) of 5.25" 
floppy disks, 3.5" disks, CDs and DVDs (several thousand) -- I have a 
fairly complete collection of Debian releases on CD which it would be a 
desperate shame to bin.  Not to mention a whole load of hard-drives no 
loner needed....]
