halloween thoughts

Being that it is halloween, I got some candy to pass out to trick or treaters. I also thought that it might be an opportunity to clean out my junk heap... <ding dong> "Trick or treat!" "Here you are, there's one for you, one for you, and one for you" "But what am I going to do with a 2400 bps modem?" "I don't want a broken disk drive!" "Can't we have some candy?" "Sure, if you take this broken monitor..." Ok, maybe not. How about drawing eyes and a mouth on a broken monitor... a Jack-o-CRT? Or maybe I could try giving away AOL CD's... Computer parts go pretty well with other holidays, broken 30 pin SIMM's make pretty good Christmas ornaments, and as a tech I knew once said, it's a good idea to keep a stack of greenbar around so that on Saint Patrick's day, so that you can go someplace to drink... a green bar. <har, har, yeah I know it's pretty bad> Sorry, I couldn't help posting this (retreats into corner).
