That's how I am, too. Boxes of electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, computer parts ... it's only now as my days are growing shorter and I realize I'll never use the crap that I'm just starting to let go. But there's nothing more satisfying IMHO to have something break and going through an old box of junk and finding something that'll work to fix it - LOL.
Good memories. I like being able to assemble a computer for what ever purpose at any given moment.
LOL - me too! I laughed the other night ... I was watching 'Modern Family' the and the woman on it wanted to have her son take a paper she once wrote to his college professor to grade it ... she thought she was robbed way back when. Anyway, she had it on an old 5.25 floppy disk. She hooked up an old computer with a floppy, converted it to a 3.5 inch ... hooked up another old computer and converted the 3.5 to a CD ... hooked up an old laptop and converted the CD to a file on a thumb drive. Her son asks her how did you get that old file on a thumb drive ... she blows him off with something like ... nothing to it - LOL. I laughed my head off and thought to myself, I could do that!
I could almost do that, you got me on the 5.25 floppy I’ve never owned one.
Converting from 5.25 to thumb drive “Super easy, barely an inconvenience”
