When does a hobby turn into an obsesion or compulsion? My small collection
is relatively new, and pretty much focussed on game machines (c64,c128,
IIgs, Amiga 500,1200,atari ST, etc) and a few 68k macs, powermacs, and a
bunch of PC's. They dont take up that much space, not like a mainframe
anyway, and run off of 120VAC.
Oh, and wives have been known to make their husbands throw out their
collections of whatever so they can store their own stuff like clothes,
shoes, antiques. Some of that is practicle, some of it is just taking
control.
