--- Quote from: Alex Eisenhut on December 30, 2022, 05:04:36 pm ---Hoarding of extra components, unfinished projects, unused test equipment, impulse vintage computing purchases, old technical books, etc... could all be remedied by simply getting rid of them. But it ain't always easy. What if for the new year you wanna clean up a and maybe you need some encouragement from other people's examples? I got rid of - 6 textbooks by putting them into a community give one-take one box - sold headphones on eBay - donated unused Analog Devices chips to coworkers - Android tablet to the local goodwill and I'm planning on getting rid of - SGI1600SW monitor, as nice as it is I will never have a PC or SGI workstation that can use it and bringing things to the recycler, like a dead UPS and batteries, useless power extensions with loose sockets. Maybe it's silly but I need to get into the mood of de-cluttering my place. Anyone else? --- End quote --- I pity the poor person you allowed that android tablet to continue existing for. That’s one thing that should be E-waste immediately 😂 |

I might still have a couple that are 20+ years old which I stacked in a crawl space under the roof. --- End quote --- Let me know if you have a 486-Pentium era computer up there. --- End quote --- Probably... but A) I need to think about keeping some parts to resurrect test equipment I have. B) Getting it to Australia will be expensive. What would you be interested in? |
