I'm of the opinion that objects are like beliefs in that they should pay rent. If they don't, get rid of them. If I'm on the fence about acquiring something I often ask how it will pay rent. If it won't, the problem is solved.
Key concept: "generally useful" versus "actually useful". I find the former to be another term for "not useful".
