The Pc Guy: Clutter Buster

Thanks to computers, I've achieved a degree of victory against clutter. Over the years I've accumulated a few thousand photos, nearly 3,000 records and CDs, and literally tens of thousands of personal papers, newspaper clippings and assorted odds and ends.

These are rubber sleeves that pull over the player (none too easily) for smudge and scratch protection. The scroll wheel is shielded while staying operational, but the screen isn't protected. Five-packs, with blue, purple, green, pink and "clear" Tubes, cost $29.
