    I’d rather have the cluttered cable drawer than something far worse: the feeling of shame at paying money for something I discarded and could have already had for free.

      I’ve had people mock me for my cable pile, then comes the day they need some weird obscure connection that hasn’t been on the market for a decade, not so stupid now is it my friend …

      I still have a FireWire 400 to DV cable.

      I no longer have a DV Camera or a FireWire 400 port, but I’m keeping that damn cable.

        I also have one. I imagine it could be rather painful to acquire today.
