Wire & Adaptor Fetish!

[Graham Carter]

 Ok maybe the title of this post is a bit click-batey but bear with

 

From my early teens (I'm in my 40's now) have always been an amateur hobbyist.

Back then, was into CB Radio's, stereos, speakers, games consoles, mini tv's...you know ya typical 80's / 90's teenager

I remember when my grandma used to take me shopping to the local outdoor markets, and always used to gravitate to the stalls selling power adaptors ,audio cables, coax adapters etc etc

 

Funny thing though, even now in my 40's whenever I'm in a store or supermarket, I always gravitate to the section which sells wires, plugs, adapters etc. There will be some nostalgia mixed in here, but again, even if I don't need a new USB hub, or charger or HDMI cable, I always find myself in this section poking around nevertheless!

 

Is this just me or does anyone else have a "fetish'" for wires and generic peripherals?

PS - I have a humongous wires box in the garage stuffed with peripherals and wires... some of them going back 30 yrs!
