Funny that this should come up. I was rifling through a bunch of old 
file last weekend as I was abusing/filling the shred bin at work (with 
10 year old personal papers) when I came across a printed copy of my 
Trumpet Winsock license.

I ended up shredding it, but did pause for a moment to consider keeping 
that little piece of history.
