Way too many times I have need a specific "obsolete" cable or connector not commonly sold anywhere only after having decided that I don't need it and can throw it away. I've then been forced to buy a replacement at a ridiculous markup from some random eBay seller. Now I tend to keep those cables bagged up with the obsolete tech they belong to if I can. Now I have a tub of functional, well organized, emotional support obsolete tech. I refuse to give up my last floppy disk drive, cassette deck, VCR, or PlayStation.
