I'm a pack rat
Tailgunner:
Pack rat? pbpbppbbpttt.
I've got three 10 x 30 mini-warehouses packed solid with stuff. Not only am I unwilling to throw it away, I'm paying for the extra space needed to keep from doing so. :D

I'm just beginning to believe what Peale was talking about before, de-junking.
At first I balked at the idea, but I've warmed up to it. I started with a couple of rooms of crap that I didn't use and got rid of it.
I haven't missed it at all. I never could find anything in the pile anyway. If I find something 'good' I put it into another pile of 'good' stuff that I never used either. So I'm slowly trying to de-junk.
Sure, I tossed out some 'cool' good stuff, but I really don't miss it. I have more space and less clutter too.
Not that I have at all reached the penticle of spartanistic existance, but I don't have any 8 tracks in boxes anymore. I hung onto the albums, I might make a wall hanging.
Are old computers (like pentiums 100-200mhz) worth anything? I have 7.

Most DEFINATELY!
Good doorstops are hard to find nowadays.
A few of those systems in good condition will fetch upwards of $2, so I'd either hang onto 'em, or ebay the whole collection ;)

With old pentium systems yank the drives and power supplies and toss the computers themselves out. If you really NEED to set up a low end system you can get complete 400+ mhz systems for a $20 bill. Worth paying the $20 is you actually plan on using the systems. Stick the extra hard drive and RAM (if it will fit), in the newer one.
