Don't even go there.... SWMBO's might get wind of it and stop us adding to
that list when the next "bargain" (tm) comes around...

Personally, Just off the top of my head, I can think of the following stuff
that I've never yet put to "good" use...

2 Fuji tablets
1 Epods
1 VIOM
1 Quasar temp sensor
2 DS9097U's
1 Meteor CID unit
1 serial VFD
1 Veronica FM transmitter
1 RedRat
1 Loftbox (still haven't got it working properly)
2 Compaq fingerprint scanners

Of course, I do *intend* to integrate all this stuff into my house
"when I
get time" (that old chetstnut), although _IF_ there does happen to be
a
bring-&-buy area at UKHA2004, I may well force myself to be brutal and
bring
some of this stuff along...

However, on a more positive note, I have just managed to rebuild my HA
server PC, - now rackmounted, running Win2K server, and with an 8-port
serial card that until very recently was on that list... With the extra
serial ports available (10 in total), I *will* get round to using some more
of that serial-connected stuff, like the Quasar, VFD & VIOM etc....
