  3. Meeting new friends who share that same quirky pack-rat mentality about all things electronics.
(I'd list 'Chance to clean up the workbench' - but I doubt there is anything that can do that...).

I just signed up, and will have to see if I can put something together...

Edit: I have assembled a box - Blue Bomber.
