GEN: Books on the Internet - obsolescence

[Joan Kimball <jkim@BORG.COM>]

ADVICE NEEDED: When to weed Internet books?  EXAMPLES:

How long are you keeping books on how to use the Internet?
I'm thinking of pulling a book on the Internet that has a 1995 copyright.
It has chapters on Netiquette, E-Mail, Usenet, Telnet, FTP, Archie, Gopher
and WAIS.  It describes Mosaic as the old standby web browser and Netscape
as the new browser on the block.

How long would you keep a book of internet addresses?
Some addresses go obsolete before the book is published, yet I find a
certain percentage of the addresses are still good after three years.
