Aha. Yep. If you still have the C64, then indeed, you own the thing. For now. And one day you won’t (for whatever reason). And it seems that you did indeed  see the point and it is I who missed it!

And when you do put your C64 through the shredder (because, let’s be honest, you wouldn’t want to burden anyone else with being its custodian – it’s not a ZX Spectrum after all, but that’s for another discussion) I’m presuming you’ll throw the pieces out rather than keep them in a box on your shelf. So you’ll no longer “own” it – and the ownership lasted only as long as it was in your possession.

Which is what I was clumsily trying to describe originally – keeping hold of something “because it’s mine” is a circular argument. Because it’s only “yours” for as long as you keep hold of it.

TLDR: Letting stuff go is good for you. Go on, Elsa, let it go 😉

No religion.
No politics.
No philosophy.
No C64/Spectrum culture wars.
