No, my point was quite the opposite; it embarrasses me to see how
little my "investments" are worth now. (Agreed, they're not really
investments as such) I remember, in about 1982/3, buying two Teac
360KB drives for $160 each and people at work were amazed that I
got such a great deal! (I still have/use them)
