I certainly do - Over the past couple of years, I've had the
opportunity to scrape connectors and components off of several cubic
feet of boards before they hit the "electronic scrap" bin...  I almost
have enough 805 green LEDs from Quantum drives to refurb a US digital
clock to support 24-hour mode (one of my peeves - the chip in most
clock radios supports 12/24 hour mode via jumper, but the
manufacturers for the US market skimp on the LEDs since there will
"never" be anything but a "1" in the tens-of-hours column).

I haven't had to buy a 2 or 3-pin header or jumper block in many, many years.

Hmm... I don't think I have many of those.
