I've been interested in electronics since my childhood. It took a few years until I learned enough to have a decent grasp of them, but I'd like to thank what I do know of them has turned into an obsession. From video game systems to computers; from collectors items and antiques to much sought-for rarities, some of my collections, at least in my opinion, are impressive. Here's a few that I'm quite proud of:

My Slowly Developing Mac Fetish - Oddly enough, I started out life as a typical Mac Hater, and yet, to be completely honest, it was only because of my job that any of that has changed - thankfully. For years I was a tried-and-true PC nerd, never swaying from the belief that although Macs might look cute, they were inferior and not worth my time.

Waiting even longer, my wife ended up getting a bit more ancy about getting her long-promised computer for herself - so we went ahead and purchased a 2.0ghz Intel iMac (Core Duo, not 2 Duo) in the fall of 2006.

Additionally, my iPod purchases didn't stop with the two that I had - as soon as the iPod Videos launched, I had wanted one and somehow curbed my anticipation until the spring of 2006 to get one - thankfully I did get one because soon enough my 20 gig iPod bit the dust. In a vain attempt to fix it, I found a friend that had a broken 30 gig video - not knowing much about the innerworkings of them, assuming that parts were interchangable, I cracked open the
