I pick up old computers at the 2nd hand store, get them going and give them away to someone that doesn't have one. A pretty good hobby and cheap. Some of the P4s I hate to let go but there's always another one sooner or later. Main problem lately is people are taking the hard drives out before donating them to the God place that has the 2nd hand store. That place is filling up with old CRT TVs as people switch over to HDTV.

Just recently in Las Vegas a woman went missing. After days of decay they found her body under a pile of hoarded stuff. The husband was the usual first suspect. He was cleared of any wrongdoing.
Somebody find the cite for those two brothers in New York City, I believe. They had a whole building. They made booby traps, and one got caught in one of his own under tons of newspapers. They found him a few years later. They had even brought in a Ford Model T frame and partial car. Happened probably in the thirties or forties, and they found out about the missing brother when the surviving one got sick.
Homer Lusk Collyer (November 6, 1881 - March 21, 1947) and Langley Collyer (October 3, 1885 - March 1947) were two American brothers who became famous because of their snobbish nature, filth in their home, and compulsive hoarding. For decades, neighborhood rumors swirled around the rarely seen, unemployed men and their home at 2078 Fifth Avenue (at the corner of 128th Street), in Manhattan, where they obsessively collected newspapers, books, furniture, musical instruments, and many other items, with booby traps set up in corridors and doorways to protect against intruders. Both were eventually found dead in the Harlem brownstone where they had lived as hermits, surrounded by over 130 tons of waste that they had amassed over several decades.[1]
