Collecting vs. My Wife

My wife has grumbled a bit about my collecting, esp. when I use the loft in our house as a staging area. Most of the stuff is either in the computer room or the garage, but nothing beats being able to spread a system out on the floor and coffee table to either repair or build the system. I've recently decided to limit myself to VAX, PDP-11, and Alpha systems. I'm going to be selling off my CP/M and TRS-80 collection (except for my Cyzern System 7000 and possibly my very rare Norcom clone). When I mentioned this to my wife, I was extremely surprised when she said I should keep the stuff! I guess that's one of the reasons I love her so much; she supports my computing habit (she even bought me my first Alpha). -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net
