Re: slightly OT: Collector vs. Hoarder
This is precisely why I started to sell off my collection, and as Dave McGuire pointed out it’s the people who come after we’re gone that will have to deal with it! As I stated on the front page of my sales page: "There comes a time when one's collection overwhelms the ability to store or maintain it ... I imagine the pain of my family in having to do this after I'm gone!" Bob Shuster - And I would be remiss to not add a link!: http://theshusters.com/bobvintage.html ;)

This part of the last post caught my eye:
*>Clearly, this was a collector, not just a hoarder.*
This is worrying! Is there some test that can be taken to determine ?collectorness? vs ?hoarderness???
p.s. for myself I may need professional help and/or medication to understand why I keep "collecting" floppy drives :(
