Neither do I Tony. It's not an investment, my retirement fund or
anything else but a hobby. I collect what I do because I like unique
hardware or operating systems and I like to figure out what makes them
tick. There is a thrill in owning a system that used to cost megabucks
but I managed to get for a few dollars.
