Do you keep your old stuff?

Software I do.. heck I even stil l have my Doom 2 floppy disks... haven't had a floppy drive for over 10 years..

Hardware I throw away except for my Mac and console stuff.. and my Voodoo 2 card.. that was like the best investment ever game related..

I could have written this. Word for word, I'd only replace 'Doom 2' for 'Wolfenstein 3D' and 'Voodoo 2' (which I did have) for 'Geforce 2'.

I've trown away anything that's old, except our old 1995 Mac (Performa (Quadra in other areas of the world) 630, for those interested) and 1997 PowerPC Mac (a black Performa 5500). I boot up both of them every now and then, to make sure they keep functioning. Over the years, I slowly replace the hardware in my PC, and throw away the older stuff after a little while after it collected enough dust in a drawer somewhere. Monitors too and phones as well, except, again, the Apple ones. Maybe I should ask my grandmother sometime what ever happened with that 80s Atari home computer she had.

I can also shake hands with daredevil, I still use a mouse of a similar age. A Microsoft trackball.
