[Irinikus]

In this life, I plan on experiencing and learning as much as I possibly can, before my time here is up.

I don't just like machines, I love them!

So my aim, as far as retrocomputing is concerned, is to dabble in as many different types of systems as I possibly can, and learn as much as I can along the way.

I therefore don't plan to focus on any particular type of system for an extended period of time, and will migrate from one type of system to the next, as time goes on.

With that being said, I do plan on keeping everything that I collect, for the rest of my life, as reference material. (One of my life's philosophies, is to never sell anything ever, as much as I can help it.)

For now, I'm collecting consoles.

The interesting thing here, is that I never really intended to get into console collecting, as I've always regarded them as being inferior to Gaming Rigs, offering a somewhat compromised gaming experience.

The thing that got me interested in console collecting, was the "From Space to Your Face" Onyx demo, which zooms in, all the way from space, to an N64 sitting on a stoney outcrop in the Swiss Alps, showing the console's association with Silicon Graphics as the demo ends, by displaying the MIPS chip within the console.

For now, I'm fully hooked on console collecting and still have to collect the following machines:

Silver PS3 FAT
SEGA Master System
Nintendo NES
Nintendo Super NES
NeoGeo
Apple Pippin
Atari Jaguar

I am not at all interested in Xbox at this point, as I was extremely disappointed with the build quality of the 360! (A complete compromise!)

The Nintendo GameCube and the Wii also don't really interest me!

Once I've acquired these systems, I'm going to start searching for a complete NEXT Cube system, and from there I will start with micro computers, starting with the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, as I had one of these systems as a kid.

From there, lets see! I wouldn't mind a Cray CX1
