Since I've finally mustered up the courage to join the VCFed, might as well introduce myself. I'm technically a collector, though really I'm just more the kind of person who sees something old and wants to give it a god home. This, has, of course, led to me having just a few too many computers, and actually too many video game consoles. Seriously, I have a Master System simply because I found it in good working condition. I was previously in New Mexico, but now I'm slowly sucking up neat old junk in the greater Omaha Area.
As for my interests, currently there's a lot of Apple. Sure, their company has a lot of corporate issues, but boy is the hardware from previous eras(and the new era) really neat. I also have a soft spot for Pentium Era PC hardware, which was fuelled by finding a lot of it for cheap.
My possessions that fit the place, though, are as follows:
A beaten up VIC-20 with missing keys (but an otherwise working keyboard)
A CIB Timex Sinclair 1000 (which I bought as a joke at the same time as my Model M)
A mostly CIB TI-99/4A with an actually unusable mylar keyboard
From apple - ROM 3 IIGS, SE/30 (socketed CPU), LCII, 7100/80AV, B&W G3 400
DOS - A 486 VLB that can only see 503MB and refuses to work with Serial, multiple Pentium 1/Slot1 boards, a lot of sound cards, (With an SC-55 and an AWE 64 Gold with an official 8MB expansion being the jewels)
