I share Jim Nielsen’s delight in the words of Tyler Gaw:
I just dug to the bottom of my Big Box of Cables to find two cables that I needed for something. They’ve been in the bottom for 10+ years. So, “when are you ever gonna use these?” was today. Don’t ever let anyone take your Big Box of Cables away.
My box of cables and gubbins had expanded to four boxes which are augmented by a stack of drawers and hanging racks for those likely to be needed more often.
Have we reached a point where we can fill an alphabet: ADB, BNC, DIN … RSS-422, SCART, SCSI? Leave it with me.
