I mean I don't want to talk negative about your hobbies, but you have a pc hoarding issue.

I have one for myself, but not that bad yet.

You have no idea.

Back in the early 1990s, I would go to Goodwill and pick up whatever ancient computers and related machines that people had discarded there. I amassed quite a collection. But at some point, when you're hauling a useless VT240 terminal home and you realize it's just going to sit in the garage, you conclude that you're really not doing a smart thing.

I would say the person above should keep the ones they're talking about and get rid of the "other computers" unless there's a good reason to keep them.

Useless? That’s a necessity for using your router console port!
