Wishlist

Yes, I have a wishlist. Most of the things on this page are computers and related items. You don’t spend most of your life being a geek without building quite a wishlist. I’ve seen so many machines at work, school, clients’ or friends’ homes or offices, or online. Below is a list of some of the more prominent ones I would like to own for my collection. If you haveanything on my wishlist and would like to donate it or let me make an offer, let me know. Thanks.
