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‽ 
- Is that why they switched to isolinear chips? 
- 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! - deleted by creator - God that makes so much sense. I’m kind of annoyed at myself for not thinking of it - deleted by creator
