Collecting PC's? ICK!

Having said that this is pretty much what I'd consider collecting.
        IBM PC
        IBM PC XT
        IBM PC AT
        Kaypro 2000
        My current system
        Any other systems I might currently be using

Needless to say, I'm one of those people that isn't hot on the idea of
collecting IBM PC's/PC clones. The first three in the above list are
covered by a Kapro PC in my collection, and I think I've one other
'collection' PC that was dumped on me. Other than that, basically any PC's
I've got are being put to some sort of use.

Of course any 386 or higher PC can be used as a firewall if nothing else.

BTW, I've a fairly large Mac collection and my main system is a Mac
(believe it or not I was PC only from '87-'95). However, the same thing
could be said about Mac's. On the other had a 10 year old Mac is a LOT
more usable than a 10 year old PC, especially if you've the right software
for it.
