Yes, but it's not nearly as damaging, as most things in Real Life are. Remember, it's just a hobby. A fun one; one we're dedicated to. But in the end -- and I'll paraphrase Dani Berry here -- nobody ever said on their deathbed, "I wish I had collected more software." > > When you get screwed out of $800 you can bitch, but not $40. > > Interesting.

When it's more money than I've lost. ;-) There are other measures, like "when it's more money than dinner and a movie" or other "disposable" dollar values; $40 is just within that value. If Dave ever took his wife or girlfriend out to dinner and a movie, he spent just about that much money. $800 isn't disposable; $40 is. Just my $0.02 ;-) -- http://www.MobyGames.com/ The world's most comprehensive gaming database project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
