I consider myself a scrounger since a young age, but even I was not dumpster diving at age 8.
I wasn't dumpster diving you uncultured swine!

Just messing. My neighborhood had this once a year put recycling\garbage pickup thing where you put stuff out the day before and in the morning it is all cleaned up service thing. And I was always interested in electronics but being the middle child of 5 boys I never got anything I asked for. I saw electronics and wanted to salvage them. I remember getting a stereo system once and thought I was the biggest hacker because I wired up a set of speakers to it that I found.....all I did was put the wire in the screw terminal on it

He said it had a din connector.
This could actually be wrong now that I have had more time to think about it....
I could have tinkered with a computer around that time that had a DIN connector for the PC and getting them confused.
