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)

I have every computer and console I have ever owned...
I have a...
ZX81, BBC Model B, BBC Master (With twin Opus disk drives), ZX Spectrum 48, 128+2, Atari ST, and two Amiga five hundreds.
Consoles:
Atari 2600, Super NES, DS, PSP, PS1,2,3.
As I'm newly single and am moving to my own place I plan to set them all up (Including my retro toy collection) on a massive set of shelves set in the open staircase of said Man Pad thus ensuring that no woman will sleep with me in there - Ever. ;-)

TBH it's not the geekiness that would put me off
But more the fact that you have all these consoles and you won't be using them (as is my understanding).

I mean, c'mon, you have the correct console to play "How to be a Complete Bastard" and you're just putting it on a shelf?

Tut tut...
I have them all emulated, except for my ps2 and 3 of course! Shame on you! ;-)

Ah, emulators
There was something magical about the micropause between hitting the button and lighting the kitchen on fire in that game which just can't be emulated, since they iron out all the delays.

Your mum kicking you out =/= newly single

Uh-Huh!
Exactly right, I think she should get props for kicking me out despite being brown bread for years - it's the constant chain rattling that eventually did it for me! ;-)

Mr Entity has a similar collection
Last time we moved house there were 22 consoles and old computers.

The speccy, one of the Ataris and the game cube are set up and ready to play.
