This is what you get when you rush off responses while heading out the 
door to work.  And, ended up late anyway, by a half hour.

It sure seemed like forever. 

I arrive at the front door of his house to see a stack of maybe 7 CBM 
boxes.  I thought "this will be easy, I'll be on the road in a half 
hour."  He welcomed me inside, and then showed me the computer room.  
Hmmm, two systems.  Still not bad.  I'll be able to leave in a hour, 2 tops.

Then, we ventured to the basement.  Everytime I'd turn around around 
he'd uncover more CBM stuff.  And more, and more.  It was like a 
archeological dig.  Stuff was buried under newer projects (painting and 
woodworking).  THe aforementioned 3B2 was only spotted as we moved a 
bunch of wood away from a wall.  At the end, I found copies of CBM mags 
interspersed between phone bills and tax assessments. 

I cmae home and told my wife I had found a bigger packrat than I.  We 
agreed that it's not how much stuff you collect, it's how organized you are.
