In my case it's usually "last month".  It's also typically books rather than
hardware or software, but then I'm activelly looking for books for the
Historical Library I'm involved with.  Thanks to what I've donated there is
a lot of DEC material, and thanks to one of the founders a small selection
of rather old IBM manuals.  There are also quite a bit of Microcomputer and
Unix doc's.
