LOL! - glad to hear it...

What I used to have was a plastic bag with about 50 486 chips in which I'd
pulled from old base units as they went into a skip. I had planned to tile
the top of a coffee table with them, but never did acquire
"quite" enough
for the area. Then of course 486's became rarer than honest politicians, so
I gave up on the idea, and chucked what I had in the bin about 18 months
ago...
