I have something similar with my mom. When she sees a certain popular painting, she thinks of me. The only problem is that I don’t really care about that painting, but an ex from high school loved it. My mom somehow just started associating it with me instead, and so if she gives me something with that painting printed on it, I still enjoy it, because now it reminds me of my mom and how she wants to do something nice for me.

I bet a crt monitor box would be constructed very well! I recently purged a bunch of boxes that were starting to show their age that I had from a move 17 years ago. They were with me for 8 moves! Hopefully this last move will have been my last for quite a while.
