creul wife!

Hi Dr Axel,

I'm glad that its not only my wife that puts a limit on the amount of computers I collect! :cry:

I keep telling her I'm going to sell 1 or 2 but then its always the wrong time of year to sell.......

You have some nice machines..... I too like the wooden auto sensory machines.
