Hmm, for me that's kind of hard to tell. In my current state of
disorganization I hardly even know what I've collected over the last 12
years. But I do know I have a large amount of documentation and software,
since everyone knows the hardware is meaningless without the software and
a means of learning what it does.
I don't think volume in this case is a meaningful comparison, but if I
were to estimate I'd say its 75% hardware / 25% other (by volume).
