Go up one level in this thread


 Now tell me, how do you keep them
>together?

no..divided between two different places

> An special furniture?

some i display on built -in book shelves especially constructed for the
computers
i of course change the computers i display from time to time depending on my
current mood



 A full wide room with steel doors, security
>guards and wild dogs?

one place the computers are kept in a subterrainian cavern with connecting caves
very dark and most importantly very low humidity
a guard is paid to watch over the hidden entrance
he is armed and has orders to shoot to kill all strangers that approach
the other place is more normal ..the computer are kept in shelves and closests


How often you play tem?

often
i will choose a computer almost daily and play a quick Blitz game or two
i imagine i will play perhaps 10-15 games each week


You have some kind of schedule to
>play them?


schedule to play no..but schedule to test..yes
i try to at least test each computer twice a year

Do you polish the wood from time to time?

most of my wooden boards are in their original boxes and so are protected from
the elements..however when i remove one to play i will polish and dust if need
be

Insurances?

no,it is hard to prove the cost or value so i dont bother
i would guestimate i have paid perhaps close to $100,000 over the years for all
of the computers
but it must be remembered i bought many brand new when first released so the
price are of course higher when bought as new,then if bought used on Ebay
