Cable Box Supremacy

I’ve been rooting around in The Cupboard Of Mystery this week and getting rid of stuff that’s not useful any more (giving away, selling or taking to the recycling).

But what do you do with gadgets like this?

OK, the MP3 Sony Walkman is probably not going to be useful… but… it’s small and inoffensive and well…

The Nokia E72 — OK, I can trash that, but I should probably get it powered up enough to wipe it, I guess? But who has connectors to these gadgets?

Mua-ha! I HAVE! Behold my organisational skills! In awe!

Found both!

And they even boot up. The Nokia doesn’t seem to hold a charge, though…

(By the way, I used the opportunity to do some typing on that keyboard — it’s still, by far, the best keyboard for a gadget like this that I’ve tried. Better than Blackberry, and much, much, much better than all of the revival keyboard phones that have been Kickstarterered over the years.)

Man, that Sony Walkman is a good-looking gadget…

Anyway. I guess the moral here is — don’t throw out strange-looking cables until you’ve thrown out the gadget they go with.
