I never consented to this portrayal. Or it's distribution.

I have plenty of FireWire cables but I gave away all the computers that they plug into. Now I need a Lightning -> Thunderbolt -> FireWire 800 -> FireWire 400 -> iLink adapter chain and it would be cheaper to buy an old FireWire computer instead 🤦

OKI Data Dot Matrix printers and the green and white paper For the Win!!! I kind of miss the noise they made.

And that is why you never throw out anything, because if you do you are guaranteed to need it right after

I had this box that carried/moved from 1996 - 2016 (when boxes weren’t cheaply made) that had every cable from scsi, power, ps, usb and more. I can count on one hand the 3 times I needed something from it. I moved with it 5x between 2 states and apartments and a house, and when I moved it the last time from my basement office to my upstairs office, I decided to turn those cables into money (copper). I never looked back because I found myself being lazy and searching Amazon for a 3$ cable.

I shall live with this tech nerd shame, but honestly I sold everything to move to Spain, so whatever. Heh.

I'm glad I found this, I immediately thought of the same thing.
