I too once went through a regretable "throw it all away" phase. Luckily I kept the best 20% of the gear. I now have the mindset that if it doesn't work, save it, it will work later. TRUE STORY!!! I had a dual slot one board that I kept around for a good year before it suddenly started working. Next …
