Wow, I definitely must be missing something here... :-)
Yeah, it's called irony. 8-) Am I the
only 'collector' who doesn't much care about the value of the
items hi his colelction? I collect things becuase I'm interested in them,
I find them beautiful (in a somewhat odd way, I can appreciate the good
design in a PDP11 or HP98x0 CPU, for example). I don't collect in the
hope that I'll be able to sell them later for more money.
Tony, I think you
are alone in that. The rest of us are getting
stinking rich stockpiling boring old electronics doo-dads. I just wish
my hands didn't get so dusty touching the stuff, as it makes my cash dirty.
