So my wife knows I’m a data hoarder and she’s unbothered. Thank god 😂

But she asked me why do I collect comics physically when they could be digital and take less space? I didn’t have an answer so I said just cause haha. I was curious for y’all do you collect anything physical? And if so what do you collect? Also why?

    Retro computers, mostly x86. On the 8-bit side: I have a working hungarian Videoton TVC (the same type was the family’s first computer), 3 Commodore 64s.

    The x86 collection starts with two XT clones (one with a NEC V20), an IBM PS/2 Model 30 with a 8086 (this is the only PS/2 with ISA slots instead of the proprietary MCA; later I bought a NEC V30 for this beauty) and ends with a Pentium Pro 200. I also have some x86 machines in between: 286, 386 and 486.

    Love these machines, they remind me of the carefree teenage years.
