The stack, in a modern computer, is a register where data is temporarily stored. Around here, stacks are also temporary physical storage: stacks of papers and objects, that is. Here's the anatomy of the stack sitting on top of the Shuttle AMD 64 computer:
SuSE Linux 9.2 install DVD
eyeTV install CD
CalTrain schedule
Unopened letter form Greenwood Ridge Vineyards
A form from Adobe's benefits administrator
Treo 650 Windows install CD
Car salesman's business card
Statement from Stanford FCU (unopened)
Reciept from Crucial Technolgy for 2 512 MB DIMMs
Bill from my eye doctor (paid)
K&L Wines February Newsletter
Letter from AAA about a recent claim
Pay stub
Fedora Core 3 AMD install DVD
The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense
Victoria's Secret Catalog
Wired Magazine (February '05)
I keep trying to figure out how to keep these stacks from growing: they have a mix of stuff that's just too important to toss, but that I really don't have time to figure out where to keep. There's 3 stacks of various depth and vintage sitting on the desk as I write. There's even a really old one that I put in a drawer 6 months ago when company was coming. I wonder what's in that one...
