Maybe next he'll move onto the TG16/PCE?

Obviously the size of his collection is a little much, but I think it's great that he's trying to preserve the music and digitize it. There are still tons of recordings that are only on vinyl. He probably has most of them.

That was a fun, little read. That guy should probably chase women for a while, clear his head maybe.

This reminds me of the guy who's trying to collect every single VHS copy of the movie Speed. What the hell?

That is awesome. A quest to end all quests.

Hopefully he intends to give them a proper burning, I mean, burial.

Quite sure theres a VHS of Speed in my parents house still, better move it to the safe-deposit box.

That guy is a proper hipster though. His Speed fetish is more for laughs than anything.

Crazy collection, but at least he's trying to preserve it (hopefully scanning artwork too), rather than letting it all rot on the shelf.

That would be awesome.

The thing I think of, when I see that photo of the guy with the specially laid out LP covers... How great it would be if he were standing on Magical Chase boxes. Crushing them, beneath his Brazilian bus magnate feet.
