Everybody probably has stories on passing up items

for your own collection later on, but passed up when it was easy to find
earlier. For instance 16MB 30 pin SIMMs were fairly cheap at some point but
I never stocked up on them, now I have all these older Macs and add-on cards
that can use them but they are hard to come by cheap.
Hmm, no problem around here finding 30 pin SIMMs - there seems to still be a
lot of Mac / PC hardware from that era still around which used them (but
curiously early Pentium-class PC's are hard to find)
What annoys me is passing up equipment when I *do* realise the historical
importance of it, but just don't have the space to store it or the money to
move it :-(
