I just joined because I have a garage full of old computers that my wife
said, "either do something with them or get rid of them." So I am here
to make a decision, one or the other.

Well, considering the circumstances, I guess it's time to bust out with
the soldering iron and oscilloscope and get crackin'!

What kind? :^)
Warning the hobby is the path to madness :^) I *really* recommend
focusing on one or two computers, rather than trying to build a big
collection.

at least your wife gave you a choice! My stuff to my wife is junk no matter
what...It is better now that she lives in Washington state and I live in
Virginia.
Let us know what you have and maybe we can help or it is also a great forum
for finding good homes for some you may choose not to keep.

Welcome to the list, Jim!
I've got the same basic problem (a garage full of gear and a wife who is
only marginally supportive) but it's still a fun hobby!
I hope you get to keep all or at least most of your stuff!
Good luck!
