I can't really say I've lost any bones. Surprisingly, throughout I've never had any serious or even semi-serious injuries. Just your basic cuts, scratches and bruises. Some losses were a blessing in disguise (guess which one? :) Some were bitter-sweet. I most recently "lost" my psycho cat. She bit the neighbor's baby. We had to quarantine her in the garage for 10 days. On around the 9.5th day she managed to escape (don't worry, she was clean) and (I assume) she decided she would rather take her chances elsewhere than be cooped up in the garage anymore. Silly cat. I couldn't keep her out before. This has nothing really to do with the collecting, but she did use to sneak into the garage and sleep on top of boxes of old computer documents and stuff and make a big cat-hair mess, which pissed me off to no end. Anyway, she was a pain in the ass, though I loved the little bitch. She was around 10 years old but looked and behaved like she was 2. On the bright side, now I can get a kitten again :) -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
