I still have a bulk of those CD’s (not the boxes anymore). I keep them in a binder with the CD holder sleeves. Same for my drivers, and operating systems. I have disks of going back to NT, 95b, and 98. I only started in to PC’ in 1998/9. I wish i had my original Voodoo3 driver disk. I remember buying that card in my way back from school one afternoon. I was so excited to install it.
I was skeptical of Steam when it launched as well. It has proven to be a good service.

Beware bit rot.
Granted most of those are going to be archived anyway but I wouldn’t count on them being useable indefinately.
Good news is that disc rot doesn’t happen as quickly for stamped CDs as it does in CD-Rs.
