Been thinking about how getting old computer/tech stuff was neat growing up because you could collect things for free or damn near, because these things had no real use and thus no real value. And it wasn't the end of the world if I did a shit job trying to take something apart, at the end of the day it was all due for a landfill anyway.
That's changed, and while I no longer have the space to just get random junk and fill my living space with it, I do miss that in a nostalgic kind of way.
