Tech Regrets?

Have you ever tossed old tech hardware and later regretted making that choice? If so, what was it?

I’m somewhat of a hardware pack rat, but I do regret relinquishing my first generation iPod to my sister. It was later stolen / lost during Hurricane Katrina. I’ve kept most of my other gear, just because I can’t bear to toss a perfectly working piece of kit. What about you?

    I’ve got a 150 pound server and a box of SCSI drives sitting idle in my basement if you want to come get it…it’s an old HP machine. I got Gentoo running on it at one point but it made too much noise and sucked too much power (24 pounds of it is from the power supplies…3 by 8 pounds each) to keep it running.

    Just waiting on getting off my butt to get a hand truck to haul it to good will now that they recycle computers. More than happy to give it away to anybody willing to haul it…

Tell me what you think!
