Hello,

1) Amateur Radio (s) -- actually have 3 of them on the desk
2) 21" Monitor
3) DVD burner and associated USB cables
4) Powerbook G3
5) Abacus (yes the calculator with beads)
6) Speaker
7) Stapler
8) Designer "Cheesehead" drink coaster
9) oversized mouse-pad that is used as a hot pad for pizza pan
10) keyboard & Mouse going to the Linux server

as to the question of why having floppies around... great for booting computers into linux for FTP based installation is one reason why I still have mine. Also work with some laptops in the family (still!) that do not necessairly have a CD-ROM or network function. My floppies are not stored on my desk, however. There is a large bookshelf for that.
