Digital Spring Cleaning

After several weeks absence I am happy to get back to twigg hugger! March and April were unusually busy months for me. As a result, I confess to having experienced a bit of Deklutter-er's Block, that is, a state where decluttering activity slows down or just plain comes to a halt.

I am now pleased to report that I finally was able to complete several phases of a long term and multi-faceted Electronics Dekluttering Project (EDP), which I will discuss more fully in upcoming entries. My EDP involved the disposal of a many year's accumulation of the following

Hardware

• two computers
• a dot-matrix printer
• external CD-ROM drive
• scanner
• set of speakers and sub-woofer

Software

• old DOS based computer games
• along with other DOS based applications

Various other electronic accessories

• old used and unused 5.25" floppy disks
• computer software and hardware manuals
• a Unix-based email account!

Mmm hmmm! As you can see the tenacity of my Inner PackRat is phenomenal! But I was committed to disposing of this stuff in as responsible a manner as I could in spite of some of the challenges this presented.

I am nothing if not persistent, so stay tuned!
