I'm laughing at "little round sound ports" but I like the flow chart overall. Not sure about the rest of it, still thinking about that. I was also thinking about trying to remove the combo pile since we don't use them and just put them in the everything else pile as well. Did we ever decide if we could remove the PCI video card pile as well?

we still do use some pci vid cards, so they are still separated.

as to the combos, they would get put with everything else. are they all isas? that would be OK to do. if any are pcis we want them recycled anyway, and we don't recycle all the pci everything elses yet.

What do we use PCI video cards for? Not build, the specs sheet calls for AGP.

Some are sold in the store, I think. At least that's what Dave said. RfS

What would you think of a subsort flow chart?

If people have problems with the current flow chart, maybe. There would need to be three sub-sort charts, though, since we sub-sort three different ways. So I think the current solution is the best. RfS

Does anybody know if those "little round sound ports" have an official name?

charts split up

I simplified the main chart, and created separate charts for subsorting.

One guy the other day had a hard time dealing with flow charts. He finally got it, but the simpler the better. This may be someone's first intro to flow charts.

I've noticed that the biggest problem people have is sorting not by the flow chart, but by looking at the pictures. That works fairly well for sorting, but there are a few cards that are tricky, and the bigger problem with that is that they don't learn how to read a flow chart. To try to fix that problem, I added one box in the flow chart and moved the pictures to their own page. I mentioned this idea to Rfs, but other input is welcome.
