The Wax

Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go To The Curb-Curb.

BETA-TO-THE-MAXWhen I buy new technology, I stockpile the old. And in 600 sqft apartment, that's the fk'n stupidest thing you can do. So what do I do with all this awesome, and reasonably priced to move, crap.

Some of it is good stuff -- usable, enjoyable, functional. Some of it is useless, pointless, crap...uh...less.

My brother says I should just chuck it. But it's hard to chuck those things you spent your hard earned money on. I have monitors, PDA's, cellphones, computers and a laptop. There's a cable modem, and wires like you wouldn't believe. I guess I could ebay it. But to ship this stuff makes the price almost not worth while, well, not the monitors anyway.

I keep thinking, "I might use this again someday," but I know that's a crock. Take my recent iBook purchase. There is no way I will ever crack open my old G3 powerbook ever again.

I'm such a fk'n pack rat.

I just put a ton of stuff that had little value (cases with AT power supplies, ISA ethernet cards, etc.) up on FreeCycle and conned people into cleaning my apartment of junk I don't use.

For a PBG3 though you might as well eBay it while it does have value...

There are places that will accept computers for donation. As long as they aren't older than dirt. There are still people that don't have computers, I'm sure someone would love that computer you don't want anymore.
