    Donate them to a small orphanage so the children have something to read.

    There’s always eBay. But since no one READS the manuals, why would they buy them?

    Keep them after enough versions of FCS you can use them to sound proof a room for audio recording.

    Some years ago a friend of mine published a very odd and weighty tome cale Two Thirds. A mutual friend came up with the ‘Two Thirds weightlifing kit’ as a solution to what to do with all the copies people might have lying around.

    So with this in mind, I’d suggest a large wood drill bit and a length of broom handle. A judiciously placed hole in each manual and voila! Instant edit suite fitness – as soon as the render bar starts, begin reps. Admittedly octo users will, inevitably, be less fit than those soldiering on with G4s – but hey, that’s good for all slower Mac users. They’ll be really buff by the end of a year and Mac envy will be mitigated somewhat by their six-packs.
