What kind of crazy things would happen if you had to use every part in your collection boxes? Can you even imagine it? |

Define 'use' ? I mean, I could mix them with concrete and build a wall with the cast concrete bricks. |

I maintain that the best use for a great many parts, currently sitting unused on shelves as they have been since they were made decades ago, involves compressed air and a dart board. Got a tube of original 74 series logic gates, or a job lot of 555 timers? Try to hit the bullseye from the other side of the lab, and no points for a part that bounces out. Given that I can have almost anything I actually need delivered free to my front door next day, I see no reason to waste valuable space on a random 'collection' of parts at all. I keep a simple lab stock of totally generic items like resistors and wire, but that's all. Any other parts I have are just the surplus from when I've bought complete kits for projects and not built them all up for some reason. I wonder, what would be the optimum barrel geometry and gas pressure to shoot the old OS-CONs I have taking up space on my top shelf? |

I feel guilty but it is so easy to have junk picked up instead of bringing it to the dump >:D |
