I had my first computer in 1982...the TI-99/4a. My dad and I would program code from these magazines you could buy. Its how I learned to use a computer, and is the reason I'm in IT today. 3 hours of two-finger typing for a glitchy version of Pong. Good times. Hunt the Wumpas ftw!

I still have:

original Darth Vader head carrying case filled with original Star Wars figures and all the weapons. My wife kept hers too...one of the many reasons she's my wife  ;D

1/6 GI Joes (fuzzheads rule!) Side note: there needs to be more 1/6 unpainted, unassembled stuff...not much out there.

collection of Heavy Metal magazine (the racy comic one, not the music one)

hockey card collection

Grendels, I'd love to hang out and have a beer with you some day. You'll never lack for things to talk about, thats for sure.
