Fortunately for me I've got an understanding gf who also packrats stuff :) I
was supposed to be limited to one room in the house, but sharp filled up
that, then the room next to it, then a spare room on the ground floor, then
the garage, then a small storage room then a much bigger storage room, and
now that I've got 500sq ft to play with who knows what's going to happen!

I only have 1 rule; since I'm going to be exhibiting I keep the
best/cleanest machine and pass on/sell the others. Obviously this gets
broken for machines I'm exploring/fixing/hacking, or with stuff I think will
be good for trades. Machines I'll collect till I stop are things like Lisas,
Enterprise64/128, Memotechs etc - things I really *really* wanted when I was
younger and which never quite 'made it' in the real world.
