There's definitely some hoarding principles with me. Although, most of mine are all still functional machines. They just need one/two things fixing. However, gathering the surplus funds to justify spending money to get them back to former glory is another thing...

There's nothing wrong with hoarding.

I was the same around 30 years ago, until I ran out of storage space and realized just how much junk I collected. Nowadays, If It's broken, It's tossed In the trash.

That's fair. My hoarding tendencies have drastically reduced in recent years. I suspect, if I could get the data off all my old devices without assistance or a long learning process, I probably wouldn't have kept most of them.
