What do you collect?

software

Jeeze I have old hercules - cga emulators.
NE1 need the software for an old xt-386 card?

I got it!

Stuffed horses and broken electronics.
Yes, I know, a weird combination :D

I like old Video Game systems and Japanese games that never made it over here. Also have a small Japanese sword collection, and my pride and joy, my Replica Lightsaber collection (one even has a luminecent blade)

anything that rich people through out.. :)

My name isn't just a nickname, I really AM a pack rat. It's hard to say which would be most noticable when coming into my house:

1. Plush animals everywhere (150+)

2. Animation, comic book, and illustration artwork ALL OVER the walls (the frames are touching each other, ceiling to floor)

3. The boxes and boxes and boxes of comic books (1600+ comics in my collection!)

4. The computers (11 currently)

Empty beer cans. No, not what you think. I do not even like beer. I have been collecting beer cans since 1975. I'm not currently actively collecting though, because I have no place to display them yet in my house.

I have the worlds largest collection of seashells. I keep it scattered on the beaches of the world... You might have seen it.

Actually I collect HO scale slot cars and build custom ones.

I also collect Hibben Knives as well as a few others, and traditionaly made Japanese Katana's (Samarai Swords).

And of course computers.

i save all my movie stubs and put them in a photo album. Goes back about 7 years.

Computer and other tech nerd stuff....

I used to collect Pepsi Cans (very old to very new) but sold them years ago. now I don't collect anything except Knowledge

Cameras and fishing gear. Last count on the cameras was 2304 and on the fishing rods and reels I have no Clue but I only use 5 of them. I know why I collect Cameras but I have no Idea why I have so many damn rods and reels. :confused: :confused: :cool:

Currency, foreign, old etc and also FUBAR'd pc parts and knives

I used to collect baseball cards, marbles, and girlfreinds
Now i just collect baseball cards because i lost all my marbles trying to collect girlfreinds!

Scabs organized by shape and flavor. :D

My 2 biggest downfalls...I mean, collections are computer hardware/software and cars.

Currently have 2 trucks (1 dually), 6 cars and an Explorer (no Forestones, only Michelins). As a ASE-certified Auto Tech for 12 years, I guess it is more like an occupational hazard.

Also have a 9-computer network set-up am my home in one small bedroom, along with 8 or 10 other comps, some mine, some in various states or repair for others. And a 24 x 24 garage that is 2/3 full of comps I bought at an auction a couple of weeks ago as a lot sale. Took 2 dually loads to bring it all home (whew). Oh, and almost that much comp stuff in my parent's basement as well!

Ummmm, know anyone with a need for about 10 or so IBM InfoWindow Terminals???...lol...sigh..

And, even though I am 34, I fell victim to the collecting of Pokemon cards & other stuff. About $2000 invested in cards alone, plus a Import Nin64 w/Pikachu on it, Import wind-up characters, etc.

Anyone wanna make a one-time large purchase of Pokemon stuff???? lol

Anyways....we all have our hobbies, good & bad, life goes on, la-te-da, blah-blah-blah...

....and now, back to WinDrivers!

BB :eek:
