What's your specialty?

My turn:
I specialize in procrastinating in getting specialized in any area.

I've been fascinated by the "Taking control of your collection" thread. I
have now over 220 computers stashed around the house and the shed (not good
here in MN). I have more documentation than I can reasonably read. I have
peripherals that even forgot which computer they are compatible with.

I have been more and more inclined in getting into pocket computers, PDAs
and programmable calculators unfortunately these usually have hard to find
components and a fairly closed architecture.

I also enjoy restoring old video games consoles (well actually any video
game console).
Oh yeah I like hand-held electronic games too (OK not really computers but
most are cute does that count?)


Another one of my big projects is to get French computers to work here (they
already had a hard time working there ;) I'm mostly proud of my brand new in
the box exel 100 that I have never ever even plugged in. I have to build
the video interface someday.

In summary on the receiving end I'm looking for any portable technology,
mostly docs and schematics.

On the offering end mostly 8bit apple, C=, coco, the classics 8 bitters,
macs, early PCs and clones, etc....
Stay tuned for my summer cleanup I'm gonna do it I swear :).
