But you did, and you got rid of it!Jeri Danskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647833266269245240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-9827090329343373912007-07-04T10:01:00.000-07:002007-07-04T10:01:00.000-07:00Oh, I did this too.

I had half a dozen parallel cables neatly bundled, though I bought my last parallel printer in 1994. I had TV cable wire, splitters, and connectors in their own labled little box, though the most recent ones came free with the Comcast guy, leaving my careful little archive sadly untouched. <BR/><BR/>I think this particular neurosis centers around the fact that AT THE TIME this stuff was all 1) expensive 2) hard to get and 3) absolutely essential.<BR/><BR/>None of which matters now, so it all departed after my last move. What's left is 14 (!) empty plastic boxes in which it all was stored...and I'm looking for a good home (not mine) for those!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09801682046419265076noreply@blogger.com
