The contents of both are available for free online, and scans of the actual documents from which they were badly-transcribed come with the subscriptions to the genealogy sites I frequent (Findmypast and Ancestry).
Maybe next, I'll get around to throwing out the CDROMs of licence-free clip art, photographs and fonts I've kept but haven't used for 20 years.
As for why I'm of a mind to throw out old CDROMs, well, it'll save my family the bother of doing so when I drop dead 50 or 60 years from now.
