Fool should’ve kept one nice-looking VGA cable. Every now and then you remove the excess cables by picking on the ugly short ones and leaving the nice looking long ones for emergencies. It’s like cable eugenics.
Brothers, I no longer have any mini-USB or micro-USB cables. My only remaining data cables of ANY KIND are all USB-A or USB-C. I have nearly achieved enlightenment.
The trick is to never put yourself in a position where you need a VGA cable
Did the guy finally went back in time the only external screen they could give him was an old CRT ?
The drawer is a magical artifact that keeps you from needing it’s content. Once you remove an object, the protection is gone for that item.
oh man! I just cleaned up all the old cables including old phone cables and VGA yesterday and the garbage guy already picked it up! After reading this now I am worrying 😐
I’m still using a VGA cable for one of my monitors
I don’t know if I can convince myself to “no one is going to ask you for a Nokia 3310 charger in an observable future”
I can’t throw away my IDE and SCSI cables, just in case.
And that serial cable……
That is why you never throw things away, no matter what
Now costs $45 because it’s a speciality cable.
I think I have a centronics cable somewhere
Ah yes. The drawer

Worse nightmare? So one could still be the worst?
Just buy the VGA cable when you need it again?
I’m printing off this screencap and sticking it on my cables box. Lest we forget.
This happened to me once, but it wasn’t a VGA Cable, it was a PS/2 connector that I needed for a specific windows installation-
This is why electronics people are such messies.
You don’t need a VGA cable…. Ever. I promise. And when you think you truly do? You’re wrong
