This seems like an expensive hobby, but one that chases that feeling we first got off our first system! I often wish that I understood hardware a bit more when I learned Atari 8-bit BASIC, in the late 80's/early 90's, and would have known to keep everything wrapped up in an environment that wasn't humid. I feel the one I learned on, owned by my dad, was probably moved to the basement storage and is completely corroded at this point.
