Wow, I thought I was the only guy that came up with that line.
When people ask me I explain that while computers are currently still
utilitarian, so was the Model T Ford back in the '20s. Nevertheless today
they have significant value, so while the computers we collect may only be
20 years old now (give or take ;) - should any of us manage to live
another 80 years... we might have some real winners on our hands.
Works for my inlaws, at least.

The DN discussion left me thinking about how
classic computer
collecting was presented to the outside world.
FWIW, when people find out about my hobby and ask me why, they're almost
always satisfied when I describe the hobby as being like classic cars.
