For me it was the opposite. I had many conquests and many long term
relationships but I always wished I could re-do my 16-26 yrs of life and take
advantage of the ones I skipped because i was in relationships :)
One hobby that never suffered was home computers and my love for the
TI-99/4(a) which was my first computer.
Over the past 2 yrs I've collected:
1. a full TI with expansion box, 2 drives, modem, sketch board, and about 20
modules and an official TI cassette recorder.
2. a Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 portable (which was my 2nd computer) with a 300bbs
onboard and external modems. I wrote a BBS on it last winter in basic.
3. A TRS-80 COCO 1 with a 300bbs modem and about 8 carts and a cassette
recorder. It's awesome getting old programs in .wav and recording onto an old
cassette tape and going through the old motions of waiting for sh*t to load.
4. A TRS-80 COCO 2
5. A Timex Sinclair 1000
6. 5 old school tube tvs (2 flat screen digital) with coax to RF converters so
i can hook up all these bad boys.
It was super fun for about 2 months. now they are all packed up in storage.
