I understand the hoarding issue, it is something many of us have faced - myself included. I have since paired down my collection to these:

8600

BeigeG3MT

Sawtooth

PB5300cs

iBook 600 - Now failing and soon to be sold.

I want to get it down to just the Beige G3 and the 5300.

That all being said I have found the MLA to be an excellent forum and one I wouldn't dream of leaving even I didn't own a Mac. It's a wonderful community full of bright people and the occasional flame war. Throughout my years as a member here, I have always felt proud to belong to this group.

While I do wish System 7 good luck and whatnot in his future endeavors I sincerely hope he rethinks his position and decides to remain on-board with us.

Good luck and godspeed friend.
