Just finished clearing out a couple of boxes full of computer crap (so labeled, in fact) that I’d been schlepping around for a couple of moves now. Seriously, how did I accumulate all this stuff?

• seven standard computer power cords
• automobile tire valve extenders, pk. of 4 (not strictly computer-related but still quite random)
• serial cables:
  • 9-pin to 9-pin
  • 9-pin to 25-pin
  • 25-pin to 25-pin
  • 25-pin to mini-DIN-9
• PowerBook 1400 Disk Tools disk (two copies?!)
• product documentation (Getting Started, ClarisWorks, …) and other freebie inserts (AOL, circa 1998!) from an original iMac (again, at least two copies, which is odd, because I never owned even one)
• stack of ~100 static-cling color Apple logo auto window decals (old-skool!)
• Zip drive (SCSI)
• SCSI cables:
  • 25-pin
  • 68K-PowerBook era HDI30-to-25-pin L-adapter
  • centronics-50 (which connects to nothing I own)
• Modems:
  • 14.4 kbps, US Robotics
  • 33.6 kbps, Lucky Generic Brand
• Weird-ass PB5xx video adapter (weird low-profile port to old-skool Apple Display port)
• Other stuff I can’t remember now

And that was just one box.
