I am finding all kinds of trash connectors/test connectors for serial,
parallel, and CGA ports. An old TI 52 calculator, adapter cables to convert a
VGA to RCA output, and stuff I can't remember what they were really for. So
much fun trying to decide if I need to just cut this stuff loose or keep it for
a bit longer but move it to less environmentally friendly storage. I am
leaning at the moment to putting it into recycle or trash. The disks will be
destroyed I am not going to go through this again!
