Leaving the hobby

My first wife always bitched about my "junk" too. She tried the same
thing when we split, but she had no clue about what I really had at the
time. She kept two old 486's, my DVI box for the Tandy 1000 and all of
my TI99 stuff and thought she had the "crown jewels".

My current wife has her own thing going on. She sell's party packs on
ebay so we have 12 pallets of kids party supplies in the fourth
bedroom. She can't bitch about my collection. at least it's all
either in the garage or in one room.
