I always feel very melancholy whenever I hear of someone leaving the hobby
and giving up their prized systems, especially when I consider how much time
and effort it took to build those collections. The money factor aside, it's
a hobby fueled by pleasure and fun, and it's sad to hear that someone has to
give that up.

I can't predict what emotions Jim will feel once he finishes finding new
homes for his computers but I sincerely hope that in the end, he'll feel
that it wasn't had painful as he thought it might be. I know that I
personally felt wonderfully unburdened after I got rid of most of my old
computer collection, but then again, I didn't have anything extremely rare
or difficult to replace if I ever decided that wanted one again.

Jim, I hope that by the end of the year, you've successfully found new homes
for your collection and that things will start to to be better in your
personal life. In the mean time, just hang in there don't forget that you
have a family that cares about you.
