   Am I the
only 'collector' who doesn't much care about the value of the
 items hi his colelction? I collect things becuase I'm interested in them,
 I find them beautiful (in a somewhat odd way, I can appreciate the good
 design in a PDP11 or HP98x0 CPU, for example). I don't collect in the
 hope that I'll be able to sell them later for more money. 
 Tony, I think you
are alone in that.  The rest of us are getting
 stinking rich stockpiling boring old electronics doo-dads.  I just wish
 my hands didn't get so dusty touching the stuff, as it makes my cash dirty. 
 
 Wow,  I definitely must be missing something here...       :-) 
Yeah, it's called irony.  8-)
