 My latest haul included over 100 machines of the same brand.  I had to
 rent a space at a local U-Store-It place.  I must be crazy.  More on
 this haul later.  
 You've got some catching up to do.  My 4-bedroom condo, 2-car garage,
 and several *thousand* square feet of rental space are filled up with
 old computers, documentation, etc. 
Darn, don't you just hate when we get into a size enumeration contest.
Remember what they say "Size doesn't matter."

Actually Eric, I had to rent the storage space, the three car garage
which also contains two other rooms 8x20 & 8x10, and a good size loft
were already full.  And although there is still room in the 30x40 barn
with its loft, I only use it for the stuff that is probably destined 
for the recyclers/scrappers.

I would like to have had it closer so I could test this stuff easier,
but had no choice.

  You very well might be crazy.  Not many others have
that many computers on
 hand, except maybe Best Buy, or Office Depot.

  Remember, your addiction could be cars, or ships too,
so count your
 blessings --- all 100 of them. 
Thank you, Gary.  You need not look farther than Iowa to find words
of wisdom and the good side of the situation. If only my SO could
see the silver lining. ;-)
