People occasionally tell me that I shouldn't hoard so much old hardware and cables. But they keep turning out to be useful!

@terrana As a terminally poor packrat, I can't afford to just say "oh well it's just $5, I'll just grab one" when I'm missing a cable like the people around me, so instead I just get to save them $5 now and then :P

@Facet @terrana Sometimes you need a firewire-to-UART cable! Can't just throw it away! never mind that you haven't had a computer with a firewire port in decades
