Interesting article. Thanks
I'm still having on to my DOS 5 floppies, and 6.1 stiffies (and Windows 3.1)... started hacking away on my moms 8088 when I got into the computer world - but Jannies stuff is way before my time :crylaugh:

Really awesome collection, makes mine look a bit silly - though not sure where the heck I would store that many. 
Wish I could find "junk" piles like that. 
Ideally before they get left in the rain.
I've picked up some nice items from bidorbuy, but lately it seems the stuff is fetching kinda high prices, like I got my still boxed Commodore 64 for ~R150 on BoB what must have been about 7 years ago, more recently I've seen them going over R2k. I paid about ~R700 for a boxed ZX Spectrum about 2 years back. Tried bidding on another one more recently but the auction went past R2.5k (granted that one came with some accessories).
That's sad..
