I suppose I'm a teeny, weeny bit obsessive compulsive as my little 3-bed terrace is full of electrical ****.
Other techies and Geeks are amazed that I don't get radiation from all the stuff.My electricity bills are comparable to a small business because a lot of my stuff is heavy with over-spec power supplies.I've got so much junk ; I've had to give a lot of it away.
Because I've been mucking about with electrics since 1972 and learnt a lot by trial and error people come to me for advice on buying hi-fi and want me to fix their pcs for a song.
Obviously I am not a professional 'puter man like the majority of people on this site but I'm constantly learning.
I was pleasantly suprised that I can do stuff that the techies in my local pc shop said was impossible and I ended up mending their customer's machines on the odd occassion.
Eventually ,one day I will probably go back to listening to shortwave radio, reading my books and writing letters by hand because the constant consumer treadmill of forced upgrade, new formats and things becoming obsolescent is really doing my head in.
Years ago I had no tv in my living room and it was great for conversation.Playing cards, Scrabble and having a jam on acoustic guitars was brilliant.I can't remember the last time I played charades or hangman on a bit of paper.Before I had so much electrical gear, I was much more creative and happier.
