halloween thoughts

Being that it is halloween, I got some candy to pass out to trick or
treaters. I also thought that it might be an opportunity to clean out
my junk heap...

<ding dong>
"Trick or treat!"
"Here you are, there's one for you, one for you, and one for you"
"But what am I going to do with a 2400 bps modem?"
"I don't want a broken disk drive!"
"Can't we have some candy?"
"Sure, if you take this broken monitor..."

Ok, maybe not. How about drawing eyes and a mouth on a broken
monitor... a Jack-o-CRT?

Or maybe I could try giving away AOL CD's...

Computer parts go pretty well with other holidays, broken 30 pin SIMM's
make pretty good Christmas ornaments, and as a tech I knew once said,
it's a good idea to keep a stack of greenbar around so that on Saint
Patrick's day, so that you can go someplace to drink... a green bar.
<har, har, yeah I know it's pretty bad>

Sorry, I couldn't help posting this (retreats into corner).
