ATTN: National Geographic Subscribers

[arwalden]

What do you do with your old copies of your National Geographic magazines? Do you save them? Donate them? Or just throw them out?

If you save them, do you keep them neatly arranged on a shelf as reference material? Do you use them as visible "decoration" to impress visitors? Or do you just throw them in a box and store them?

Me? I toss mine when they are 2 months out of date.

1. I give all my old magazines to my mother

that way she can deal with how to dispose of them

2. I have all of mine and all of my Dad's, who started subscribing in 1955

I guess that makes me an even bigger nerd. :-)

5. There's a CD-ROM set available that has 110 years worth of issues. . .

I used to have the set (it wasn't very expensive about $40 if I remember correctly). unfortunately, I have all the CD's except for the install CD now and can't use them :(.

3. I'm not a subscriber, but. . .

My aunt used to have about 20 years worth on her bookshelves (along with hundreds of other great reference books and other reading materials).

It was always fun to go to her house and sift through her "archives." Always something new to learn.

4. Please don't toss. Drop them them off at a hospital or school.
