OK, what is it with us people and cutting off cords from stuff when we
toss them? Have any of us actually _used_ one of these cords? I also
have a rack of hanging cords, the NEMA-standard computer plug type
cords, because every time I toss something I keep the cord. Yet, new
purchases always come with a new cord. What the hell am I (are we)
thinking?

I use the old cords, because it's easier than crawling under the desk to
run the functionally equivalent new ones. But it takes quite a pile of the
new ones building up, before I toss them out.
