I suggest that people who wish to reply to a thread make the, in most
cases, very minor effort to skim through subsequent related posts to
see if there is anything that has already been said that makes what
they had been going to say superfluous, or just plain incorrect. If
one's email client makes such an action difficult then one may be
using the wrong client.

As an excellent example of what typically happens, in this case the
two posts immediately following the one being replied to contained
cash offers for some of the parts. While  the sum offered was modest
it demonstrates that the parts were either not considered junk, or
perhaps junk worth paying for (which is not really junk as normally
understood). . To suggest about 20 hours later that the OP should give
the parts away suggests a lack of reading ahead. The trouble is that
we then get the wholly predictable "is junk" / isn't junk" / "army
boots fish moon oak leaves diamonds' fanfare, which on occasion has a
remarkably long lifetime.

If this was a "oncer" then my adding this post just adds to the noise.
As, however, this is quite a regular occurrence it will hopefully
prove worthwhile. One can hope :-).
A little netiquette can go a long way, sometimes.

Today while rummaging in my workshop I was surprised to discover
ceramic and gold 12C508JW, with it's EPROM suitably displayed for all
the world to see. I don't recall ever having used one, so how it came
into my possession I don't know. It looks like the sort of junk that
would go nicely in the midst of some sort of artwork. As the EPROM is
the centrepiece of the (admittedly small) visual treat I'd first have
to add some UV opaque material to the window though:-).
