I can certainly relate to the hand-written scraps of paper. I found tons
of those (mostly important ones) when rescuing stuff from the dumpster,
including some I wrote! One in particular is a diagram I drew up on how to
repair an old audio amp that the family insisted on keeping for now. I
haven't been able to talk them out of it, even though it is unsafe to use
in its current condition. Maybe they want it as E-pay bait?
