Yes, but sometimes it just feels safer to have another copy of the same
machine around for spares or for trading. Just my opinion.

Definately not. I have two nice matrix printers on a shelve and when I need
to print something I usually use them or the network laser printer.

I don't agree. Personally, I think that books and magazines (in reasonable
amounts, not something like the complete run of every magazine you once saw
at a newsstand) are quite manageable and when properly collected and
preserved they are also fun to browse through.

Agreed, especially with homecomputers like the 64 it can really be a pain
in the ass (if you excuse my expression) to have all those little boxes and
circuits lying around. At the moment I am thinking about throwing most of the
Commodore stuff out. Anybody in northern Germany here who would be willing
to fetch it?
