No I stick with the simple stuff like Amigas, Atari ST's, 8 bit Commodores,
Apple IIgs, Timex, old PC's, 68k & PPC Macs, etc. Most of my problems come
when trying to find drivers for oddball upgrades, figuring out where to get
obsolete parts, or messing with Apple Unix configurations. Just like every
other hobby you spend as much time researching as you do acquiring and using
(at least for me anyway).
