That's one of my concerns since I started
collecting stuff... I
always have a kind of "core collection list" in mind that I would
try to preserve at any cost (if necessary, I'd sleep on it).
In these cases it is good to know other interested persons that can help
you out, should you ever find yourself in a crisis. However, that notion
makes me hope the people I know can maintain their collections,
otherwise my house would quickly be swamped :)
And.... I'm considered insane by many people who
know me. They say
"get rid of that stuff, that's junk" or such alike. So it's not easy
at all to be a vintage computer collector. I feel quite alone with
it here in northern Germany...
"Insane" is a very relative term, my brother in law spends countless
hours on his sailboat and my father with his horses... I would consider
myself insane if I ever started thinking about doing what they are
doing.
I don't think you are insane, in fact, your cause is very noteworthy.
Also, northern germany and sweden is not that far apart, in the USA you
and I would probably be considered "close".
Kind Regards,
Pontus.
