Thoughts?
The problem is that such a survey is tainted from the start. Many
people that hold rare machines (or rare *anything*) often do not
advertise what they have, in fear that they will be bugged to death,
or even marked as a target for theft. Some are downright secretive.
The big iron collectors are very much like this. I know of quite a few
fantastic machines in private hands - but I am not talking! The
holders of those machines absolutely do not want their identities
known, and I will respect them.
And now that the whole Apple 1 phenomenon has hit the public
spotlight, things will probably tighten up further.
But, such a registry is not a bad idea at all - it just that you will
have to take it with a grain of salt.
