there is value in providing space in your designated box for old systems
periodically test the functionality and connectivity of old systems, connect them to new systems, install new software, be aware of their function and their degradation with time
make space for physical media and old drives, enable ways to interact with them on new hardware, acquire external docks and bays to connect storage media
have a box full of cables, keep adding to it
do not worry about a cracked screen
keep using your systems and devices until they are not usable anymore
use the parts from broken systems and devices to build new systems or store them for their future utility
maintain backup systems and mobile devices that are as or more reliable than your main interface for connectivity
have backup systems for your backup systems
acquire sufficient parts, systems, and software to be able to rapidly assemble and deploy a system if needed
