I use Gladware, too; it's great for outsized elements, and it's not as cumbersome as tackle boxes. I especially like using Gladware for stuff I have sorted by type and not color, as then I can dump the Gladware container into a larger box to rifle (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.storage)

(...) I thought I was the only one who used Gladware and cardboard boxes! I have around 20 Gladwares and 20 envelope boxes with lids, and one huge shallow storage tub. I don't believe someone else uses Gladware. That's comforting. -Adam 8^D (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.storage)
