Went to pick up some computer scrap the other day from one of the company's we haul for. Look what they threw in to fill the truck up!
That's 4 full 1000 foot rolls of cat5E cable + 4 full 1000 foot rolls of T1 100ohm cable. Plus, all the misc length rolls you see in the pic. Sure would like to have the value of all that stuff new! What a day!

    The whole BOFH series is just fantastic... even if you don't know a lot about computers. Bosses are routinely killed off in elevator accidents, etc. User accounts/files deleted ("Oh, you need more space? Whats your username? *clickity* OK, you've got a whole 10mb now!")

    If'n you sell it off, keep several hundred feet and wire your house. I've got 3 jacks at every wall plate - one 100mb network and 2 phone lines. 2 lines run to each jack, terminating in my garage w/ a switch and a punch down plate. I can convert/split the network to a 3rd phone line and still do a 10mb network, or convert it to 4 more phone lines. Also have pull thru strings for coax, in case we need TV in other locations in the future (not likely, easier/cheaper to use MythTV and set up small computers and stream live via network).

    I've got wireless, but it is really for mobile stuff while mowing the lawn, at the pool, etc.

    Yes, I told my son we were keeping one roll for around here. first job, run a phone line over to the workbench in the shop. I hate running 80 feet to answer the stupid phone at the other end of the shop.

    Nope! Pulled it right out of the storage room on the raised floor. There's even more stuff thats still in the boxes that I have not sorted thru yet.


    "Technology has already arrived they make cordless phones now."

    Yes, this is true. But with all the steel in the building, and electrical, it seems the cordless phone gets crappy reception when you move around.[;)]
