typically until it hits a low at about 13 years, after which its'
value rises. Computers probably do the same pattern although the time
probably varies. The trick is to know when the machine hits bottom and
which will go up from there. (If it climbs slowly, there's no hurry)
Not anymore. There's no way all these Pentium systems out today will ever
be worth anything, at least not in 13 years, IMHO. Maybe in about 30 years,
when most have been destroyed will they be truly worth something as an
classic.
