Why are we so fascinated with collecting things?

So, you’ve read my posts about my Zune. What I didn’t tell you yet is that I joined the Zune Marketplace. $14.95 a month gives you access to thousands of artists, songs, etc. That’s a pretty good deal. You find a song or album, just download it and synch it to your Zune. And, then,...
