I think electronics should be used at least every once in a while. Using them will also help find problems before they become major problems (leaking capacitors and PRAM batteries for one). Storing them in a cool dry place will help keep them working, too many people stick them in attics or barns where the elements kill them over time.

I am sure many hoarders think they are saving machines for future generations, but most will end up in the trash when they pass away anyway (or have to move). All the stuff I have is stuff I want to use, I keep them running so I can use them.
