Other than CPUs and the other types of chip that I collect:

Faeries
Maps (old maps, especially of the area I grew up and the area where I live, but anywhere really...)
Natural History books (older the better)
Bad neighbours (hey, that one just fell in my lap!)
Memories (although I try to just hang on to the good ones...)

The list goes on, but it gets too wierd Smile I'm a cleptomaniac Smile

I am trying to build a display for it that will allow you to slide a lever and expand/contract the keyboard.

Opening the lid seems to work for me Wink


I guess you could motorise it.. fairly straight forward with limit switches etc.
