I actually collect and use vintage home computers. Currently in my collection are a Commodore VIC-20, and C-64, Tandy Color Computer, series 1, Compaq Portable series 1, and the centerpiece, an IBM 5150 PC system including a very rare IBM 5161 expansion chassis. I'll also be getting a truckload of vintage computers over the weekend to sort through. So who knows whats coming. I do know there are several 286, 386, and 486 machines, all complete with original monitors and keyboards. I'll definitely be a happy person.
I am a software junkie. I have original windows 3.1, windows 95, 98 98se, ME, and the rest. I also have tons of programs of all types but mostly photo editing.
But I did used to collect the plastic blue pouches my newspaper came in. I wanted to staple them together and make a full body suit. I was still in elementery school... :)
I used to collect Cornish Pottery Gurgling jugs, some are quite old, they come in different sizes + colours. They looked good on the tops of my kitchen units. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/i...
