I'm interested in hearing how others on this list
afford
to maintain and expand their collections. Especially people
like John R. Keys. 8-D Basically I take money out of my
budgest and buy something when it strikes me. Lately,
Ive actually turned down some of the more popular computer
models because I either have one or more, or space is at a
premium. I also pay monthly for small off-site storage
to hold some machines as I'm reaching over 150 computers
+accessories now. Is it feasible to start a non-profit org
to help pay for some of the costs one incurs while enjoying
this hobby or how would one solicit donations? I am reluctant
to become too commercial or plaster my domain with ads.
Well, I'm paying some USD 400/Month for storage of my collection.
I'd love to reduce the cost, but within the City this is a real
bargain - and I don't want to store my babies in a distance of
one or two diving hours.

BTW: I stumbled across a real nice, almost classic web site:
