My dad likes to go to auction sales and often comes home with boxes full of junk. At one particular auction he went to, he bought a box of miscellaneous computer parts and in the box was a Zune travel charger. Not knowing what a Zune was, he was going to throw it out.

I told him that I would take it, as I had a friend who owned a Zune and I would see if he wanted it. I asked him if he had one and he said that he just had the Zune car charger. I gave it to him and he was thrilled with it.

The only reason I even knew what it was was because it had a logo on it and I knew I had seen it on his Zune dock cable before. I am glad that dad did not throw it out because at least it has some use to someone.
