insulated wire

Is there a thread for beginners on the different insulated wires? I have all sorts of wires from house hold, to ones Im saving for a stripper thingy because they are chock full of copper, and computer cables with gold on the connectors and many more. I want to separate them properly before I hit the yard any suggestions or threads? Thanks in advance.

Ok so I read some "similar threads" and I think Im a Ok but you have anything to add, I won't complain. Thanks again. Love this site!
