I have the same problem. I eventually "just said no to classic computers" :-)
The one computer line that is still causing space trouble is Classic Macs.
People find out that I collect, nay, use them regularly and foist all manner
on me. Great for parts, but then I can't bring myself to dispose of the units.
There's a Performa 630CD in the closet that I got with a PowerBook 1400cs/117
from my sister's fiancee (who upgraded to an iceBook and told me if I could
fix the PB and took the P630 I could have them for free -- who could refuse?
;-) but it will never get used because the IIcis work so well. I can't just
junk it, though, it's fully functional!
Since I have Commodore 64s and 128s coming out my ears (last count two
breadbox 64s and four (!) 128s), I have been fairly good at self-control
about those. Plus about six disk drives, five monitors ...
I'm also getting antsy about the PCjr printer. It was a good idea at the
time and came with the package but it's bulky and I never print anything
off the PCjr anyway.
