Six years’ worth of various computer parts, all heading for the recycling center next weekend. Not pictured: the fifteen-year-old printer that’s been collecting dust on top of my desk for the last few years.

You have to let them age before recycling… They’re like the opposite of fine wines. Incidentally, if your printer wants a friend I’ve got the printer I bought for my uni course in 2006 which hasn’t been used for years… because I decline to buy ink that’s that expensive.
