At transition points in my life I, for some reason, always have the time and/or motivation to sort through the crap I've accumulated. This time I'd like to get rid of all of my unneeded computer hardware and software.

Every time I move to a new place I cart around boxes of this old "backup" stuff but I never end up using it. I've moved five times in the last three and a half years.

Don't ask me why I still have parts dating back as far as 1995. Maybe I'll need to make a really shitty computer some day. Oh wait, I already have two and they still run: a Pentium 166Mhz from 1995 and a Pentium II 266Mhz from 1997.

I'm going to make a list of the stuff I don't need at the end of this post. If you actually want any of it (and can pick it up) let me know. No guarantees that hardware will actually work.
