I suspect that most companies with ties to computing's past really
don't really understand or care about fans of ancient hardware and
software. Atari's heavy-handedness is a good example in the realm of
"small iron" but examples can be found in the "large iron" realm
favored by many people on this list too... Mentec/successor's
stonewalling of the PDP-11 community and IBM's occasional lash-outs
against Hercules come to mind quickly.
