I collect anything related to home computing apart from IBM-compatible
PeeCees 'cos there's far too many of the bloody things and they don't
interest me.
My definition of the 'interesting' times is from the Magnavox Odyssey to the
Escom Amiga 1200 (ie the last one, not the CBM one). I'm also very
interested in the development of the early machines; how they came about,
what thoughts and ideas were to go into them, what actually ended up IN them
etc etc.
This means I'm collecting documentation, books, software etc as well as the
machines themselves.

Anyone got a spare Magnavox Odyssey? :) I've got one game (Baseball) but no
console......

Other news: I'm buying Bo Zimmerman's spare C65, and hopefully soon will be
hosting several machines from the early development of Sinclair products,
such as a prototype Spectrum board and one of the prototype Grundy
Newbrains. Museum premises are nearly finalised too - 500 square feet of
space over 2 floors; the only downside is I'm renting rather than buying so
I'm limited as to what I can actually DO to the place.
