This is a question Hoarding

Willenium says: I had to bring some floppy disks into work which I had been saving for 10 years "in case I might need them". Tell us when your hoarding skills have come in useful (or not, as the case may be)

Out of control...
First post wooo etc :)
I have an unhealthy obsession with obsolete technology (i'm an electronics engineer by day). So far I have filled my cellar and spare bedroom with, to be honest, junk. Nearly every games console since time began (multiples of each plus software, leads, controllers etc etc).
Arcade machines and game boards (yes, the real full size 10p eaters from the 80s). Old video equipment (Sony F1 anyone?) Test equipment, 90% of which will never get used.
And if there's a repair that's not worth doing said item gets stripped and the parts put away. Another problem is I frequent car boot sales so that Xbox or Gamecube for a couple of quid is worth it in case the laser fails on one of my other 10-20. I need help!

About eighty paracetamol and a litre of Glens finest should do the trick
Don't fuck around with the 200's get the 500's instead.

I have a friend who's dad used to work at the National Lab near Albuquerque
Their house was always filled with scopes and monitors and satellite receivers and general stuff that they hid in and then purchased from salvage. He had MTV long before it went on air, though.
