Wouldn’t have worked on me. I put the plastic bags (all of them) into the box. I put the spacers, the cable ties, the lot, into the box. I carefully open the box and ant plastic bags in the first place, cutting along thje tape, not through the bags/box/whatever. And then I keep the lot until the warranty expires. On several occasions there have been Dogberts on the Customer No Service line who have been very disappointed that I had everything sitting ready to go back. Just in case. (Hewlett-Packard, I’m thinking of _you_ There would be a _reason_ why I no longer buy HP _anything_.)

containing a single A4 sheet of paper, (inside a heat-sealed plastic
sleeve), authorising the use of HP-UX on the Spectrum 3000 machine we'd
had delivered a few months previously. It'd been up and running since
the day we got it, and making money since a week later. (Bureau
services, the good old days. :-) )
I did file the piece of paper somewhere, I doubt it matters now, but I
did recycle the box pretty quickly... Well, quickly after taking it
around and showing the entire office and any loitering clients what we
had received. :-)
At least the box didn't have any packing in it...

Which may explain why Bing found "openspew" hard to find: it's idiotic licensing policy and use of memory killed it. A design decision that
went wrong, no doubt.
Bing /did/ pull up a link to a discussion about "spew" <https://github.com/davecgh/go-spew/issues/53>, which may or may not
be related to OpenSpew.
