I am sure you all passed with similar situations...
Getting a "new" Amiga in amibay/ebay and take it home... their eyes, when they see it coming....
"Another one ?!?!?!?!?!?!?" why the hell do you need another Amiga????
What do you say?
- babe, i really need this one, it will be the last one, i promise
- i could not resist, it was only 5 euros...
Last time i bring an 2 atari M.Boards home, she look at me like i was with some sort of mental problems
"what is that?" she asked.
I said
"well ha.....ha....hum... it's just some boards to build 2 Ataris...."
She just look to the sky, like she was saying "My god, what do i do?"
But she didn't say more... I think she is accepting the Amiga stuff....
What about you? What does your wife say about it?
What do you do to convince her you need 5 amigas ?

No problems with that, as I'm not touching my old hardware anyway. When I have to update my retro software, I always do it when she's in bed, and anyway I'm only doing this once in 2-3 months, only starting the downloads, and every here and then I'm mirroring the stuff, which also a synching software does for me, I only have to start it.
And since long time I didn't buy any new stuff, I'm rather planning on selling a lot of it, as I don't use it anyway, and nowadays with emulators everything's really convenient. I only keep my many TBytes of games

Any retro collection i purchase goes straight into storage,its not that retro gaming is a hobby were you are unable to show stuff off of course as some guys have wall to wall bookcases full of retro gear but with me personally its a question of space as i live in a one bedroom flat so its a little awkward.
Anyway we have to sit through their tv so that is payback..
