Back to the first page.

Organizing all these items was very difficult. No matter what system I choose, there is always some doubt about where to draw the lines. Very few items fit perfectly in one place without their absense being felt some other place. As a result of this, the organizing and reorganizing is still ongoing... and may always be.

Item descriptions appear to the right of the images.
