My CollectionDo you have display cabinets full of stuff? With it all neatly labelled, cross-referenced and entered into a database. Have you been to a convention? Do other collectors look up to you in awe?
I thought I was above this one. I'm not that autistically geeky that I have a Collection with a capital C. But no, I remembered I'm hoarding away every version of "Inside Macintosh" ever published.
What do you collect? And why? I mean, what makes you do it?

Smarties LidsAs we all know, the inside of the round Smarties tubes have a letter inside, leading to much hilarity spelling out rude words with them. And, as everyone knows, if you achieved the impossible task of all 26 letters, you could send them to Smarties, and receive a super secret special prize. My friend, Daniel, managed to get nearly all the letters, and with the rest of us pitching in, avoiding real food for Smarties, we managed to collect them all.
Off went the parcel to Smarties, and we duly waited for our special prize. 2 weeks later, we get a reply, basically telling us 'There's no prize or gift. There never has been. We wish people would stop sending us 26 Smarties lids. But anyway, good job. Here's 26 Smarties tubes' (so I guess there was a prize after all...)
Daniel was 25 at the time.
