ignore him. he's just jealous... thats why he sticks to just intel 486's.

| I realised after spending too much money I needed to collect a subset instead of going for anything and everything. |

Spend money on the right stuff, and you can call it 'investing' - not 'collecting'.
That is how I have come to think og my collection... an investment  _________________ 4000+ chips.

It's so easy to just buy everything you can afford (and some things you can't!). That's why I concentrate on one area (ie 386 and compatibles, as per my sig), and have recently started collecting earlier x86 and other Intel chips, along with eproms (mostly because I have had a few older boards to strip down recently, with some reasonable eproms and other chips in sockets). _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.
