Collecting prototypes (was: ./ does the Reuters article... :( )

Quothe Bryan Pope, from writings of Sun, Jan 05, 2003 at 08:56:57PM -0500: :-( One thing that I saw in the /. messages mentioned prototypes. I never thought of prototypes as being particularly valuable, like the wire-wrapped prototype of the PERQ-3B 8MB memory board that I have. It's probably not worth much, as few people know what a PERQ is; however, I don't care what it is or isn't worth, as it's just interesting and may have some possible future use, even if I have to modify it (ok, I said the 'm' word, but shouldn't things be used whenever possible?) to make it work with something that isn't a PERQ-3B. -- Copyright (C) 2002 R.
