Ya, I have limited space, so I need to pick and choose what's worthwhile to
make the space for.  I do have good number of computer books and manuals, but I
don't have a set for all my systems.  If I did that, I'd have to choose between
the computer or the books and I'd rather have the computer.

I try really hard to NOT get new stuff, but sometimes something comes up on
eBay that I really want (or no one wants, but I think it cool and I get it
cheap).

 OR> That's because people like me are hoarding them.

I have a bunch too.  But like I said, when I go to format them, they have a 2
out of 3 failure rate.  They are just getting too old.
