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?

Sorry about the 'list' feel...- Full collection of Thunderbirds on VHS (original marionettes, none of your live action film malarkey). Why did I think of this first?
- Probably about 2,000 CDs, and when it's out of boxes, I most likely will set aside an entire sunny weekend to arranging it all by artist then release date. Maybe by packaging too. Darned special releases won't fit in the shelves.
- DVDs are getting scary now, too.
- Books. Oh. My. God. They don't fit on two of these (the BIG 5x5 ones, in beech incidentally). When we moved house we nearly broke the leaf suspension on a Luton box van - it went 'bang' on a corner 8o/
- Papers. I know it's useful to have it all but the temptation to construct a ceremonial funeral pyre is very attractive.
- Two Amstrad PC1512's - yes! And then again, no...
- The crowning glory: a comprehensive collection of model railway ephemera, in 00 gauge (1:76 scale), covering the British steam and diesel eras, by Hornby, Bachmann and Lima. Layout (broken) on 8'x4' of 3/4" MDF (my Dad's mistake), not yet moved from the attic of my Mum's long-term but ex (for five years) partner, who luckily is a friendly guy!
Big up for the Fat Controller! Poop! Poop!
EDIT (sorry): I do it because I
