Collecting Interests
I've got almost everything I want at this point, mainly by trying to want less. Interests include:


 * Commodore 8-bit (my childhood computers)
 * Unix workstations (Sun, SGI, HP, IBM, etc)
 * Digital PDP-8, PDP-11 and VAX systems
 * S-100 machines
 * CP/M desktops and portables
 * Anything weird, odd or unique. There's always more out there than I know.
 * Vintage telephones and telephony equipment.
