3 Computers Later….

I decided to try my hand at cleaning my room just now. My room does have a few nooks and crannies where old tech can be simply abandoned in place, and if I can easily reach it, it tends to be forgotten. So while my current project continues to update (see the past three or so posts), I made a couple of trips to the dumpster:

  • The old HP Pavilion 500-314. From behind my tv. It used to be my Blu-Ray/streaming box. And then all of my streaming services became available through my cable box, and my Blu-Ray player (also abandoned in place) still had a remote. So it got chucked.
  • The old HP Pavilion 500-214. Died in 2018 (why I ordered the 500-314). I simply chucked into the closet.
  • The old Dell from the Tacoma Mall Pretzel Time. It was given to me when the Mrs. Fields closed, and I very quickly realized that it would’ve become a money hole.
  • A couple of keyboards. No longer needed and/or missing keys.
  • 3 pairs of shoes.
  • The cushion from my very first big office chair. Which broke. And was replaced. The rest of it got chucked when it was first replaced,
  • And all in all, 4 garbage bags’ worth of junk.

And then I was able to vacuum. Before and after, you might be able to see the difference, but I can. And that’s what counts. At least the only computers left in my room work….
