Can I humbly suggest that you dig that letter out and get it framed? Random pieces of paper tend to go astray during moves and clear-outs; framed items less so.

Thanks for the nice anecdote.

I wished someone had given me that particular piece of advice a couple of decades ago.

On the other hand if you don't show some restraint you end up being buried in paper and lugging way too much of it around--which I did when I was younger.

Likewise. I used to possess a hand-written letter from Sophie Wilson (of Acorn/ARM fame) replying to my own hand-written query letter at around 1981 when I was 16 and learning to program my Acorn Atom.

Oh that really hurts. That would be an amazing memento.
