I'm now deep in the bowels of my layers of old boxes -- pruning, in preparation from moving from a place with practically infinite storage space to a place where I assume there will be none -- and among the gobs of stuff I've found are about thirteen DSL modems. Or forty-seven. I've lost count.
I'm responsibly bringing them to the town's e-waste disposal center, so don't worry about that. But, sheesh, I am starting to wonder how many phone companies have me on some obsolete shitlist for never returning their once-precious gear.
(And fantasizing about how annoying it would be to them, were I actually now to return these things, as once COMMANDED, in the accompanying paperwork, received lo those many years ago.)

Geeze, are you going to prison, or the old folks' home?
Heh. That did sound a little drastic, didn't it? No, I'm just going to be moving to a small apartment, so it seems best for someone of my nature -- someone who keeps everything that "might be handy to have someday" -- to assume that there will be no room to store anything. I mean, sure, there'll probably be a closet. And a spare corner. But nothing, compared to what I've enjoyed in the past few places.
