VICTORY! I am hooking up my sound bar that I haven't had hooked up for years. I needed an AUX cable. Did I have one handy? No. Did I go to The Big Box Of Cables? YES! And what did I find there? THE EXACT CABLE I NEED! As well as an S-video cable and 9 RCA cables, if anyone needs some of those.
Did my wife hear me shout "TRIUMPH!" and come by my office to see what shenanigans I was up to? Yes, she did. Has she accepted the wisdom of keeping The Big Box Of Cables? No, she has not.
