I just keep all that stuff in the basement, it doesn't bother her down
there, it's not really living space (cold, sometimes floods a little,
concrete floor etc). Also, I won some points by bringing convenient
internet access upstairs via the placing of my airport on a really long
cord stretching from down there (where the line is) to up here (where
the laptops live). I also only buy this stuff in cash, when I have it,
which means I already paid the mortgage, car payment, credit cards,
ISP bill etc that month. This month, for example, there is no point in
browsing ebay :-(
