Yep – organizational skills have not been my forte, the further back the worse I was. But like they say, you're never too old to learn!

That's cool! Even though re-amassing a collection is fun -- I’m sure that original equipment / materials one purchased years ago, caries a more sentimental value.
The oldest computer thing I have that I bought original (well, built w/ new parts that is) in a 2005 PC w/ AMD Athlon 64bit (2800+) single-core CPU w/ ATI All In Wonder 9200 128mb 4x AGP w/ Video Capture. Still chugging w/ XP Pro w/ SP3. Not exactly vintage, but give it time :)
BUT I’ve started collecting and tinkering w/ CoCo’s again …
