Actually, I'd prefer not to find a box included with
one of my discoveries... I have virtually no storage room left
for my systems, and cardboard boxes take up a _lot_ of
space. I would really prefer not to be put in the position
of throwing away something that I recognize might be of
some historical value, simply because I have to devote
my remaining space to systems, not packaging... (It
can definitely be a guilt trip ;-)
