Such machines back in time were much harder to acquire, especially as a kid. Today as an adult you are free to get as many as you want. It is not necessarily bad, unless it is harming you somehow, which seems to be the case. I have books I haven't had the time to fully read but somehow I still getting more, and I sure that am not alone in this. This TED talk about addiction from Gabor Mate is very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66cYcSak6nE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66cYcSak6nE . Now, I would ask: What are you getting from your addiction? does it make you feel a sense of happiness, control, success, of comfort (e.g: revisiting your childhood in the 70s)? I would ask you to not try to satisfy your emotional needs through consumerism but rather through another activity. There are communities about retro-computing, e.g: https://www.reddit.com/r/retrocomputing https://www.reddit.com/r/retrocomputing . You can have conversations with them to know better the machines you already have rather than buying more.
