My first wife always bitched about my "junk" too. She tried the same
thing when we split, but she had no clue about what I really had at the
time. She kept two old 486's, my DVI box for the Tandy 1000 and all of
my TI99 stuff and thought she had the "crown jewels".
My current wife has her own thing going on. She sell's party packs on
ebay so we have 12 pallets of kids party supplies in the fourth
bedroom. She can't bitch about my collection. at least it's all
either in the garage or in one room.

My first wife called this bluff and left, leaving me with the son and all
the bills. She filed property settlement papers that placed the value of
my collection at over $10,000, including my Kaypro 10 at $2,500, a PS2 at
$1,500 and a 9 pin Epson at $160. The current wife is an electrician
with a case of "Pack rat syndrome" equal to mine. The only classic
related disagreements we have are over whose turn it is to use the
ancient ones and how nice it would be to get 1/2 of the spare room for
her stuff, I tell her that she can have the bottom 1/2.
