Big Box of Cables

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Yes yes and yes. I have all the cables and Adats, dats, reel to reels, Dvs, floppys, zip that will never be used again. But just in case, I have players and cables. I was once persuaded to scale down my useless cable storage operation, and litteraly a month later needed a strange that I had tossed. On attempting to replace it I discovered it was crazy rare and would cost me over £80 if I could even find one. . . . Never again.

I met someone who had all her computer stuff on Jazz drives.
She would cart around an old iMac G3 and a jazz drive reader to be able to do computer related stuff.
This would have been after 2010.

I wonder now and again if she still uses it.

Oh yeah jazz, that's what I was trying to remember. I also used mo for editing.
Crazy dayz.

This is the end result of a considerable downsizing a few years ago. I can now confidently self-identify as a grownup.

Clockwise: Power, data/speaker/guitar, USB, AV/HDMI.

I could probably bin some more, but it would be painful. I have actually found random power bricks useful for hobby projects, and if I ever need to get data off ancient hard drives I need my enclosures to run. I have pledged not to overflow these though. One in, one out.

I got the Wii back out a couple of weeks ago and discovered that its power adapter and the analogue input dongle for the TV had been victims of the purge Had to get new ones.

This is very satisfying. And the no overflow rule is a good one. And having actual boxes rather than masses of tote bags with no organisation. I have a hard time throwing old cables out. surely I'll need it one of these days! I'm going to try to be militant this summer.

box and bury the 'useless' ones. Literally bury. That way either archaeology can have them or you can go dig them up if you need one.

Burn them to keep the copper

As a reseller & retro tech enthusiast my heart is fluttering at all that software. A tidy pile you've got there Shippy!

Burn them to keep the copper

Warm them gently in a tomato based sauce and serve topped with parmesan cheese.
