Like all dads, I find it very difficult to throw away anything that might be even remotely, possibly, one-day-off-in-an-unknown-future useful.
I have held onto the Crumpler bag I bought to carry my very first iPad, the 2nd-gen model, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
It was in perfectly good shape, and you never know when you’re gonna find a use for it.
I have found a new use for it.
My new Kindle Scribe fits in it perfectly!
So not only has it proved itself worthy of all those years I refused to give it away just because I had no immediate reason to hold onto it, but it also saved me a couple of bucks on buying a stupid cover that doesn’t even do anything.
I saw a tweet from someone who finally disposed of their box of old cables, only to need a cable that they knew they had just thrown away a short time later, and the moral of the story is never throw anything away because the second you do you're going to need it.
Congrats. I have a drawer full of old tech . Chargers , old flip phones etc. A real point of contention in our house. Until someone needed an old style charger recently and viola . No need to order from Amazon. I was vindicated however briefly. I’m thinking of starting a museum now with my horde . Anyway bravoJB . This is the way
Old Crumpler bags are pretty much indestructible. My first one made trips to Norway, England, and various South Pacific Islands over the 16 years it was slung over my shoulder.

But yes, this is Power Dad-ing. Bravo.

One success is worth a thousand failures, but are they really failures just because their time has not yet come?
Exactly.
The difference between failure and success is often time. Ask any Project Manager.
We just have to define success in the terms of our time, quality and resources triangle.
Just try and explain to the customer they can have only two.
