Are you a specialist or a generalist?

My main interest is in early-ish microcomputers and single-board machines. Stuff like the MOS (later Commodore) KIM-1, Synertek SYM-1 (aka SY-VIM-1) and Multitech Micro-Professor. I've also got a working Acorn BBC Master 128, with Viglen dual 5.25 disc drive, Epson LX80 printer, Microvitec Cub 653 monitor and a box of ROM cartridges. Oh, and it's got a 420MB Conner hard drive grafted onto the 1MHz Bus via an IDE adapter. Great fun to play with :) I wouldn't mind getting a Commodore 64 or C128, but there are other things I want more (a SYM-1 is really high on my wants list). I've got a Jupiter Ace here, but I need to get the motherboard back...
