What are my limits? Well, I have quite a different approach. Since I'm not a gamer and I have zero nostalgia about my childhood computing experience, my desire is to build a collection that consists of:
1. Abacuses
2. Slide rulers
3. Mechanical adding machines
4. Electronic calculators
No more than two or three of each of the above categories, and rather a small size models.
When it comes to a computers era, I have / would like to have:
1. Z-80, Intel 8085 and Intel 8086 processors training kits.
2. Dumb Terminal
3. First laptops with BASIC language support like Epson HX-20 and TRS-80 Model 100.
4. Pocket Computers with BASIC language support, like Sharp PC-1500 for example.
5. Modern replica of a Mini-computer (PiDP-8 or PiDP-11).
6. CP/M capable Z-80 based laptops like Epson PX-8 for example.
7. MS-DOS capable laptops/portables with the Amstrad PPC640 at one end of the spectrum and the IBM Thinkpad T42 on the other, and few interesting models in between. I'm not so much into a Windows era, but would be glad to be able to use Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98, Windows NT/2000 and Windows XP.
8. MS-DOS capable palmtops like HP 200LX.
9. PDAs like IBM Workpad (rebadged Palm / Palm III PDA).
10. WinCE palmtops like IBM Workpad Z50 and HP Jornada 720.
I'm not into hoarding and would like to have rather a small number of units from each category, and what is the most important for me, is to have as much peripheral devices and accessories as possible, so you can play with those devices, connect them between each other and do other things.
