Having a clear out

[Sharingan]

I had a 21 inch (CRT) monitor too. Those things are frickin' heavy! Still outperformed LCDs, though.

Me, I can't get myself to get rid of old stuff. I'm too sentimental to part with the crap I grew up with

[Harrison]

Yep! Bloody heavy! I remember when I originally got the monitor and how hard to was to carry up the stairs. Weights about 32KG I think! And it is huge! The tube is 2' deep.

It is definitely very hard to part with stuff from your past. I try to hold on to things as much as I can, but sometimes they do just have to go. And the thing is that once it is gone I find I don't really miss, or remember most of it, so why did I keep it all so long.

I hurt my back a little bit carrying my 21" monitor up the stairs. Didn't hurt anywhere near as much as my arms did though after carrying a 20kg Power Macintosh about half a mile. My arms hurt for about 4 days after that.

I've always said Macs make good door stops!

[Buleste]

I would've thought they make good Chocks for Jumbo Jets myself.

[Harrison]

Or anchors for oil tankers!

If you could invent a process for retrofitting any house with a cellar you would become a millionnaire.

Someone I know sold some blank betamax vids on ebay last year, made £1000 by selling all 10!
