Definitely a "today's version": it produces basically the same end result
from a functional standpoint, but is substantially more complicated and
expensive, requires electricity to operate, consumes more resources to
fabricate, and probably isn't nearly as durable.
Just a thought.
I keep my smaller parts (components like resistors, etc.) in the shipping
bags, sorted into cardboard boxes by project (one box for the Expressionist
breakout panel, one for the MiniWave, etc.). Usually I use the same box that
the stuff arrived in. I keep bigger parts like jacks in plastic tubs that
previously contained yogurt and cottage cheese, labeled with self-adhesive
paper labels and a felt-tip pen. I bought some stackable plastic bins at
Home Depot awhile ago, but they don't seem to achieve the same storage
density and accessibility as the plastic dairy tubs.
