  I’d rather have the cluttered cable drawer than something far worse: the feeling of shame at paying money for something I discarded and could have already had for free.

    I’ve had people mock me for my cable pile, then comes the day they need some weird obscure connection that hasn’t been on the market for a decade, not so stupid now is it my friend …

    I still have a FireWire 400 to DV cable.

      I also have one. I imagine it could be rather painful to acquire today.

  I’ve thrown away all but one of each older connector before and just like clockwork, I needed two mini USB later that week. Micro? I was all set. Mini, I thought it was safe now.
