   The days of fiddling with retro-tech is over for me.  I     
   gathered up all the old modems (about 6-8 of them including a     
   USR Robotics 56K Business Class lifetime warranty) I had     
   acummulated over the years, and gave them to someone who     
   "claims" might be able to put some of them to use for ham radio     
   projects or something.   
      
   I had about as many CRT monitors of various sizes too.  Cut off     
   the cords and delivered the monitors to recycling.   
      
   The next biggest space-waster are about 8 old PC cases in     
   various stages of assembly/disassembly.  They really gotta go     
   too.   
      
   Yeah.. the old stuff triggers interesting memories. But, time     
   is best spent in discovering new things to do, imho.
