I have a basement but I also have a wife who complains everytime I bring 
some orphaned computer part (or camera) home and to the basement.  In 
her eyes it's all junk.

Which is worse, no basement or a wife 😁

It was because of my first wife (now ex) that I sold my 2 full racks of 
PDP-8/E equipment.
