You do know you're snipping yourself, don't you ? ;-)

That was quite a pile of Acorn stuff. I always wondered who
would have the biggest one (pile of Acorn stuff, that is).
You know, filling an entire room, 'up to the ceiling' kind
of stuff.

Me, I like to have a 'condensed' pile. No heaps of half
functional crap lying around and about. Nope. Either nice,
clean, useful, functional items, stored away, or at most
one of them in full use. Lets see, there's 3 Masters (one
in use, else backups), 3 Model Bs (same), 3 6502 2ps (same),
2 Elks (same), 2 80186 2ps (same), 2 65C102 2ps (same), 2
ARM7TDMI 2ps (same), 2 Risc PCs (same), 2 A3000s (same).
You catch the drift. And just a handful of assorted goodies
(32016 2p, Watford copro box, that kind of stuff).

Now that I'm going over it, maybe time to downsize a little
as well ... But, somehow, I don't want to. It's time for an
Acornholics Anonymous.
