I have an old printer that was thrown out from an office - complete with spare cartridge. Okay so it's only black & white - but I've had the old cartridge in for 8 years - and it's still going strong!
Unfortunately it won't connect to my new(ish) computer.
I have an old computer (not broadband compatible) that works with old printer.
I want to use printer & computer for writing only.
In the past, with these two I've used an an enormous monitor. Today I decided to try to connect old puter to flat monitor.
I knew I had some connector thingys under the divan in the spare room. What I hadn't realised was that I had at least 24 of the kettle type connectors - and 10 mouses (mice?)!!
Plus various other computer-type connectors.

Unfortuntely I haven't got he one I want, which is why I probably didn't connect it ast year!

Maggie can I please send my son to live with you , you are made for each other lol.

BC, I blame my hoarding fom the fact that we moved so much when I was a child, whenever we moved, everything was thrown out/given to neighbours!

Kim, to be fair, it was under the divan in the spare bedroom - not a place I visit much! I found an old shower curtain as well - very handy when decorating! Problem is, I probably wouldn't find it when I needed it!

Hazel ........ just the one box!

LOL
I have two model B bbc computers,
one single disc drive
one double disc drive
one monitor
about 400 4inch?floppy discs many original games and a load of copies
two printers that go with them think one's a seven pin and the other is a 14 pin.

I keep all my hard drives from redundant computers,
sooner I have the data on em than anyone else.
yep I gess me is a hoarder too....

Good Grief Bob!!
At least I had the dignity to throw out 4 monitors , 3 computers - nothing on them worth stealing - apart from the one my ex gave me - (his stuff he forgot to wipe - made interesting reading!)! LOL....and an Amstrad!
My excuse is I don't drive and had to gather them all together and 'call in a favour' to get them to the dump!

Jean, I have one of those rooms - but it's full of my children's stuff. They've now left home so I got it all out of the attic (apart from the old toys), for them to sort through!

Hazel, that's worthy - 50 boxes of 'stuff' LOL

Takes a bow :))) lol or should that be a curtsy wmsl ...

Ohhhhhh yes Maggiewinchester ive got all their old toy/books grand children have had a great time over the years playing eldest being 23yrs /17yrs/11yrs/and 14yrs old dolls/ cars/trains and what nots going back to the 1960s every time I say to my two are you going to take all your bits all I get is nawwwww you look after them !! ohhh well looks like im stuck with them untill the great grand children come along !!looks like ive got a long wait tooooo......lolJean.

I have been a hoarder all my life. Last year I finally started (with the help and encouragement of my sister) to go through my 'junk' and try to get rid of a lot. I havent gone far yet due to other things interrupting the process, but one day I did find my science notes from almost 60 years ago! I had initially kept them because they were interesting and I thought they might come in useful some time, and then the children might be able to use them when they were in high school (by which time they were well and truly buried and forgotten). I managed to throw the notes out.

I still dont know what to do with my grandmothers feather boa.

Huia.

LOL,
Huia
