Great list :^)
1) Nostalgia! I used to have/use one!
Why oh why did I ever get rid of my VIC-20 :^(
2) Revenge! I couldn't afford one when new, now I
can!
Bwah hah hah :^)
5) Beanie Mania! I don't have this model in this
color!
Here in lies the path to madness, or at least no storage space.
6) Fun! I can't afford a real hobby!
Um, get rid of this hobby and you could probably afford 3 others :^)
7) Furniture! And it makes a great coffee table!
Number 7?!?!?!? Give me a break, there is no better coffee table than a
BA123, unless it's perhaps some of the IBM RS/6000's (and that's all
they're good for)
One of the items should have been:
To play with all the cool OS's out there on the hardware they
were meant to run on!
