Hi, everybody ...
That sounds very much like an individual seeking out
autographs in person from celebrities. I don't sense
anything particularly educational about that type of
experience with computers.
I for myself find it useful to see that 'ancient' computers are able to
fulfill my 'everyday' computer needs - and perhabs others will see as well
that for writing a letter no one needs 1Ghz and 512MB ... and in addition
there's a learning effect to deal with systems which can be understood in
it's very detail.
Sorry for giving my 2 cents, while on the list for only a few minutes ;-)
Cheers,
Mario

Of course, but that doesn't mean that
there's anything
wrong with it.
Neither did I say there was. I asked whether you might
suggest "other causes even more significant" than a personal
hobby.
