Guilty, guilty, guilty.
$800 for a pile of NeXT gear, because it included a NeXTDimension
card. Still working on restoring, equipping, and distributing the
slabs, which has cost hundreds more dollars so far.
$800 for a NeXT cube, but at the time that wasn't "classic".
I'm not quite sure how to count the gas, storage space, etc. over the
years, but that might be substantial.
Still a cheap hobby, compared to many things.
