Actually, it's the Canadian that's freaking out.
What the heck would posses someone to collect all of this crap? I throw just about everything out. Doesn't matter...prototypes, old enclosures, stuff I can't identify...oh well, so long, buh bye. If I buy a package of stick-on feet, and I need 4 but 6 comes in the package, I throw out the other 2. Life's too short to be spending 10 minutes figuring out where to store $.25 worth of plastic.
I'm having a hard time thinking of anything I've ever missed that I junked.
Dave, you need to get a hold of this guy and interview him!
