Not applicable. I read through most of the DSM-IIIR in high school (long story). That's when I decided I wasn't interested in psychology. It was fascinating, but when comparing the categorizations from version to version of the DSM, it became clear they were totally making up bologna for a large part of their profession. All the DSM did is stipulate what kind (and how much) of bologna most of them agreed on at any time- probably to aid in billing the insurance companies- nothing more.


Regarding my "addiction" not only is it NOT cluttered, I have every calculator item, every serial number carefully tested, cataloged, along with purchase date / price, notes, etc..

I have also bought and labeled special boxes for accessories for each series.
It's as precise as I can be given my other computing interests and time commitments.

On a related note: It's very handy to have a Calculator collection when I travel. I detest small talk with strangers on the plane/train/bus, so if someone asks what I do, I say "I collect HP calculators and really enjoy writing mathematical algorith...."

Eye contact breaks, throats clear, and I not a single word is said to me the rest of the flight. Blissful, really.

Excuse me Allen, what does it mean "bologna"?
I've tried to translate it from english, but the only meaning I found is the name of a city in the northern part of my country...

Then.. compliments for your 41's collection!!

many thanks
