I can sympathise - it was horrible having to thin stuff out when I moved to 
the US, having spent 15 years building the collection up. Realistically I just 
couldn't ship it all overseas, though. Thankfully I don't think I binned a 
single thing, even stuff like ratty ROM boards and Electrons.

I kept much of the less-common stuff, but got rid of a lot of spares for them 
and now wished I hadn't - plus I wish I'd kept a couple more beebs just so I 
can keep at least one going for a long time.

I'm in a computing black hole where I live these days - there's just nothing 
around here, and probably never was; it's taken me well over a year just to 
find a 1990s CRT monitor :-(

cheers
