I've decided to only collect systems/machines that are retro or antique... or have the ability to become that in a few+ years. (lol)

I keep one poststation available for the system I'm currently working with or collecting and have bins/tubs for systems that I'm not using at that moment... I have a Commodore bin, an Apple IIe bin, an MS-DOS bin, etc...

Currently I've an Apple IIe system at the retro poststation - and that will cycle in/out whenever I move on to something else. I (try to) never have more than one of these stations setup at a time... get all the Commodore stuff done before moving on to something else.

It's not perfect, but works for me - and boy, I'd never get rid of those tubs... right?
