Apparently I'm not a collector. I just acquire systems, some which
happen to be classics, from time to time that I think would be fun to
hack around with or would be useful. I'm also not adverse to making
any modifications necessary to make them useful, or more useful, to
me, which would make them less valuable to some collectors. These
systems were made to be hacked on, not put on display never to be
used again.
