I was watching a movie on TV last night and saw a commercial for a new type of storage container. It was unique because it is a bunch of compartmentalized trays that "roll up" into a type of suitcase. Of course, my first thought was - that would be (...) (26 years ago, 17-Oct-98, to lugnet.storage)
