Exactly - aside from necessity or some extreme issue in life, I don't think I'll sell any of my retro machines... too many stories of ppl wishing they hadn't. 

I like to do 'stupid' stuff, like I write down common commands and keep a set of software backup up - with instructions on how to use it. Ever walked away from a retro and come back a year later and completely (or mostly) forget how to operate it? I have...

Another thing I do, but can be expensive... I have two super large Pelican cases; I removed the foam from one, and got a new set - it contains the entirety of my C=128 collection, with aforementioned documentation/software. Its a case containing an entire C= collection. Awesome.

LOL - I wasn't even 'serious', just wondered what you got into it for... in my C=128, I'm prolly all in for $750 - but, I bought it fully refurbished and complete... and added a few aftermarket solutions for it; SD2IEC, WiFi Modem, JiffyDOS ROMs, Fastloader...

The Apple IIe cost me $350 - but came with a lot of desirables IMO; I'm stoked to have a period-correct accelerator.

Cheers, esc!
