Dude you crack me up. We moved house something like 10 times with DHs crates of precious cables, including two lightbulbs on the end of extension cords. And every time I tried to ditch them he would say "But we'll need them one day..." and sure enough we moved into a house with an under house storage area - no floor, just dirt, no lights, but a power point. And DH had light in there while the removalists were still moving boxes around... And a very smug expression on his face... He has managed to part with some truly ancient tech in recent years...
