And thusly were the wise words spake by Evan Koblentz
But we could probably talk about their use as tools for vintage
computers.. ie a storage device for a Commodore 64 with a XE1541
cable and 64HDD. Or to archive C= diskettes by hooking up a 1541/71
to that device with the same cable and using something like
Star Commander.

>> How many here are objecting to the idea
of a Pentium as a classic
because the PC killed their favorite platform.
I object to Pentiums (and for that matter, 486s and most 386 stuff too) as
classics because there's absolutely nothing classic about them. Yes, some
people might collect them, and maybe someday we'll look back on Pentiums
with longing. But right now they are just taking up space on our desks and
landfills.
