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?

I completely forgot!To post about my beercan & booze bottle collection during my days at uni.
During the first year of uni, I used to collect beer cans with my flatmate, and they were neatly stacked in one corner of my room. At one point, I had around 350 0.33l cans, and I was actually going to build a beer wall along one of my walls.
Well, that was the plan, anyway.
So after a while, I was going to have new carpeting in my room. Couldn't be bothered to take all the cans out, and then all the cans back in, so after a few trips to the trash containers, they were all gone. Felt a bit empty without them, really.
Also, over the four years in Uni, me and my flatmate had collected a bunch of really nice booze bottles. When moving out, we had to clean out the appartment, so the bottles had to go. Some of them had a bit of booze left, including a bottle of Martini Extra Dry, which nobody drank as it tasted foul and smelled like Pino Silvestre..
I also collected bus tickets. I had told my group at uni that I collect bus tickets. After a few years, I had a large box full of them. They too went in the bin when I moved out.
