You know it is junk if:
* It's broken or obsolete.
* You've outgrown it physically or emotionally.
* You've always hated it.
* It's the wrong color, size or style.
* Using it is more bother than it's worth.
* It wouldn't really affect you if you never saw it again.
* It generates bad feelings.
* You have to clean it, store it, and insure it but don't get much use or enjoyment out of it.
* It will shock, bore or burden the coming generation.
