	Back in the 1960s I had a fair amount of wooden produce boxes in which 
I stacked my mostly paperback libaries. Pretentions of gentility
lead to book cases which overflowed by the 1980s. Wish the wooden boxes
had not been discarded, though I still have a couple full of paperback 
books around.  Computer stacked on top of one or more.
