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?

Collectable geekI thought I was bad - books, ornaments, cuddly toys. Boxes and boxes of everything that I've collected and have never thrown away have moved house with me quite a bit over the last few years.
And then I met my boyfriend, the owner of 5000 cds, a couple of cabinets of Land Rover models, filing drawers full of brochures, boxes of Robot Wars toys (ok, that one's got a reason as he did build a competing robot) - the list probably goes on. He buys clothes so he doesn't have to wash them so often. Calling him a geek just gets shrugged off - he knows he is. One day he said to me "I think I might be a bit obsessive." I looked around me and rolled my eyes.
We've just moved house and yes, the new one's much bigger just so we can fit ourselves and our stuff in it. I despair...
