Well a busy work schedule is one thing but it doesn't all have to end with a kid on the way. My son is seven months old now and I still get (limited!) time for a quick blast or game of Sensible Soccer. Who knows when he's older he may even be interested (at the moment he would attempt to EAT the mouse!  :lol:)


Ditto that.  Having a kid means less time for nerding, but the hours you get will be more intense.  My Commodore collection has more than doubled since junior appeared ;-)

Mmmm much more thought needed. I know if i did sell up i would try and sell it all in 1 hit. The postage is enough headache to put me off for now unless it was all picked up in a van. Bleh i hate getting old.


Give it some good thought, don't do anything you may regret later.  Do yourself a favour; try stashing your Amigas on the loft and pick them out again in a year.  Then, if you feel no joy, sell.  If you do, don't.

Trust me, you'll have time nerding even with a kid in the house.  The first few months you'll hardly use your computer(s) at all.  Maybe check some mail and such, but nothing more.  After 6-12 months, when things have stabilized, you'll slowly start picking things up again.  And by the time the little one is a toddler, you'll realize that the day has been split in two: before and after junior's bedtime.  You're a full-time dad when (s)he's awake, and you're the same nerd as always afterwards.

No need to be pessimistic about growing up.  Age is only a number, your state of mind will not change.

Cheer up and congratulations with the little bun in the oven ;-)
