Lots of really good points. Interesting because I just got rid of my car this weekend. Yes I went to great length to take care of it and did not want to part ways (but I foresaw a long string of maintenance costs and not stopping anytime soon). I like to think of my car as being reincarnated in the form of a new one :)

Judging by many of the previous comments (hours taking off packing tape w/a hairdryer, removing glue residue, several people preserve disk images, etc.) I suspect most people here are of the fix-it type.

You can't imagine how much I believed that my first car had a soul.
Still up to today I feel like I somehow betrayed it when I finally had
to give it away.

And I too prefer to fix things instead of giving up on them. Perhaps
that is a trait common to software collectors.

Oh well, as long as I don't live in a self-created junkyard things
should be ok ;-)

Interesting, that is my belief also. That is why I hate to waste anything and find it so hard to throw anything away.
