I'm interested in the optically nice and/or strong computers only. Since my storage space is limited (similar applies to my budget) :), collecting almost all of them is not possible for me (and will probably never be). So I have to restrict myself to a subset of possible targets. Given this starting point I have to define the boundaries of my desires *sigh*. Since I also like to play myself against those machines, I need computers in the range of 1900-2300/2400. The second point -- eyecatching units or at least somewhat optically interesting computers -- is not only for me another mainspring but this way they're also easier to defend against my wife. ;) Nonetheless, as with all rules there are exceptions, of course. Mephisto III and Sensory 9 do not fall into the above categories. But they have been on my wishlist as I was a young boy (pressing my nose against the display windows as you certainly can imagine...), so I simply *had* to own them. Hope this explains it a little bit. :) Good Ole´ Past Regards, Martin
