Other collecting activities?

----- Original Message ----- behavior of their own? ... You mean other than girlfriends, ex-wives and bad debts? Sure. California Raisins, hardcover sports books (a couple from the 40s about the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Yankees), old sports equipment and Mario/super Mario stuff. Besides computer hardware/software/manuals, I also collect books about computers. Here's a shot at another thread. My oldest is from 1962, The Thinking Machine by John Pfeiffer published by Popular Science Living Library Program (with jacket in near mint condition.) Shots of MIT's Lincoln Lab, Ascension Island antimissile defense system, etc. There was a TV show by the same name and the TXo computer would write scripts for Westerns, according to the book. Next oldest is 1965 , 'The Computer Age and Its Potential for Management' by Gilbert Burck and the Editors of Fortune. The one I have is the 7th printing, believe it or not and, again, has the original dust jacket and is in near-mint condition. I find these books fascinating since they are not manuals. They were meant to explain and introduce computers to the lay person. Pretty cool stuff, to me anyway. Lastly, I collect school textbooks about computers. Generally these are high school Computer Science kinds of texts, full of high-res pics of all the computers you guys talk about. Add to this the plain-English explanations of how the various pieces interacted and you can see how I got hooked. My background is motion picture technology and communication arts not computers. Who's got older books?
