My father has been an electrical engineer since the 60’s. My inheritance goes deep.

my time to shine… and my wife said filling our garage with things like 5 still packaged parallel cables was idiotic.
what pin config would you prefer? straight 25 or ya need a 25c for a peripheral?
I’d guess it’s beside the others.
I need specifics!
It’s the black one.
This is mine…
you guys have drawers!!!
I’m not putting a photo of my box of shame on the internet
Yeah, no. Mine are “contained” within a former sleeping bag slip case.
It was a bad pun on “parallel”
I’m sorry it needed explanation, but that is actually a brilliant pun!
In retrospect immediately after I posted this, I realized that I should have used an interrobang, I’m sorry‽
About four years ago, I sat down and organized all of my cables, then tied all the matching cables together with bongo ties/Velcro straps. A lot of it of course has become scattered again, but I am still reaping the benefits from having them all generally grouped together. It is worth the hour or two folks!
I put individual cables in ziploc bags now. They can’t get tangled, and they’re really easy to sort through.
God that makes so much sense. I’m kind of annoyed at myself for not thinking of it
Get the ones with sliding zippers. Some cables are thick enough to strain against the regular ones and pop them open.
Is that why they switched to isolinear chips?
