Shoutout to that old crane manual I almost threw out

Picked up a 1992 Grove manual at a yard sale for 5 bucks last fall, thought it was junk, but it had a load chart that saved my butt on a tight pick yesterday downtown, anyone else keep old manuals around?

Ha, I've got a binder of 80s manuals I'm too superstitious to toss.

Know a guy who kept a dusty old manual for a computer he'd never owned, just because it had a picture of a glowing sunset on it (you know, the kind that screams 1986). He swore it inspired him to keep coding through the night, even though the manual was for something totally obsolete. One day his dog chewed it up and he was genuinely upset for like a week. Now he just keeps a screenshot of the sunset on his phone, which is somehow even weirder.
