I refurbed and gave away some, scrapped the rest. It really was just occupying space. I seem to be the keeper of all the USB-MicroB-to-USB-A cables, though. I've got zillions of those fuckers.

Since then, other apps with way simpler interfaces have come up that do 90% of what I was using it for. Also, a cat pissed through the front of it and it won't boot any more. -- Drew
