Yep - I tend to try and leave those on if they're something interesting, even 
if I'm cleaning the rest of the machine up as much as possible. Partly to aid 
my own memory too, because I can never remember where I got half my stuff 
from! :-)

On a related note, there's also something nice about finding signed 
documentation once owned by well-known staff at the company which produced 
that documentation. I suppose it's a similar thing - no big deal, but it just 
adds something somehow (to the historical value - I wouldn't have a clue 
whether it affects monetary value at all)

cheers
