So, I cleaned my office today

Tomorrow I will start taking calls again and return back to work. I decided to use my last day off of the Holiday season to clean my office and get a fresh start on the new year.

I am a pack rat, but I am not the kind of person who never throws anything away. I am picky in what I keep. Most of my clutter is job related. Since I spend my days working on computers, I tend to keep computer parts and cables "just in case."

While I kept a lot of cables, I did decide to finally get rid of a lot of stuff I will probably never need again. I collected a total of 5 trash bags full of junk in the cleaning process.

• Some of the things I either trashed or set aside to give away included:
• About 50 IDE ribbon cables
• About 25 PC power cables
• Too many zip disks to count
• Tons of old CD-ROM cases
• Handouts and press kits from the past four CES trips

Stuff I didn't toss that I probably should have:

• 5 keyboards (3 are still new in the box)
• 3 serial mice
• A box full of Power adapters that I don't know what they go to
• Old Windows 98 versions of various software
• 6 Network cards
• 2 56k modems
• Several sticks of RAM
• Over a pound of computer screws
• 1 user manual for a PEI 301 386 Memory Expansion Card - it was just too cool to part with.
