Do you collect and keep them on your computer, or even in hard copy form? I have a modest collection of things like lists of chart positions, album and single information, a few published interviews, details of whatever Beatles' related CDR's I have burned and so on.

Oh man, as a kid starting at 12, I saved every Beatles article I saw in newspapers and magazines. At my office in cold storage I have box after box of that stuff. I have like 20 complete newspapers for December 9, 1980. I went and bought as many different ones I could find screaming the horrible news. They are complete too, with all the sections and ad inserts, everything.
What else could I do, I was so freaked out and pissed off. Collecting headlines of it was more productive than drinking my brains out or beating the shit out of people who were very insensitive about it.
I'd hate to go through my hard copies of all this stuff. I also have hundreds of complete magazines where they are on the cover, as a group or individually.
I can actually walk past magazines now with them on the cover and not feel the need to buy it unless it is something like MOJO or RS.

Yeah, the space issue can definitely be a problem, especially when it is about finding room for stuff in addition to a large music collection and/or books. Books are the worst. I love them, but it doesn't take that many to fill a bookcase, then the next one and then the next. I don't usually hang on to magazines for that long, unless they are really outstanding for some reason.
