Apple Box Pack Rats

Mac mini boxA while back, during the great McNulty move of aught five, Scott asked everyone whether he should keep or toss his Apple boxes. Wired has an article up today tracking the behavior of Apple box pack rats, who tend to hold on to their old Mac boxes and say things like, "I can't imagine throwing them away . . . It's more than a record of a serial number; it's a record of a good event that happened in my life."

Every time I read that line, I hear "I'm cuckoo for CocoaPuffs" reverberate through my skull. I mean, wow.

I keep a few Apple boxes, of my most recent machines, for selling on ebay. How about you? Are you a hoarder?

Tip of the Day

Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.
