Bizarre habitsSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "Until I pointed it out, my other half use to hang out the washing making sure that both pegs were the same colour. Now she goes out of her way to make sure they never match." Tell us about bizarre rituals, habits and OCD-like behaviour.

I'mnot sure that this is OCD, rather not throwing things away as you know damn well that the moment you do, someone is going to want a 16meg SIMM for an old 386 that they have laying around.
I too have boxes, nay, whole rooms, full of this shit. I have a bin liner half full of SIMMS, a stack of CD ROM readers (and maybe a writer or two) that stands about 4 feet tall, box upon box of cables, ribbons and odd power adapters.
The sad thing is, if I threw it away I'd be in no different position to how I am now.
If for instance, I need an old serial cable (a HP oddity one with the twisted cables), I know I have one.
Can I find it amoungst all that crap?
Can I fuck.
I may as well throw the whole lot away and just buy what I need when I need it on ebay.

That's the realisation I came toNo point cluttering up my house, when other (more cluttered and more organised) people can be my supply points.
I now have a whole cellar back from junking/giving away all my old computer bits. It's ace.
