Unless these machines somehow come into
a market as do vintage automobiles.
Now, question to ponder, was the market
for automobiles *created* and
manipulated into existence by market
makers and public relationists?
Because old cars are a real damn bitch
to take care of, restore, keep going,
house, etc. Computers are MUCH easier
and less costly.. and in some ways, in
every way bit as fun (to me, anyway -- I
have both vintage cars and vintage
computers).
If the auto market was guiled into
existence, then someone, sometime, will
create the buzz for such a thing in
vintage computers as well.. because
wherever there is money to be made,
someone will eventually make it.

No, you're not. You're being chumps.
Museums aren't going to want it, and
your family will take it
to the dump when you croak.
Think about it the next time you
calculate how many thousands
of dollars it has cost you to store
your collections.
