There are some of us "corporate goons, sicko christian loonies" who do a lot
of volunteer work for and have donated generously to the Computer History
Museum (the largest museum of it's kind in the world). We (speaking as a
charter member) have a huge collection of artifacts and have restored an IBM
1620 and PDP-1 to working condition and are in the process of restoring an
IBM 1401 (more to follow). These are projects well beyond the scope of most
collectors.
It might be wise to revisit your thoughts before you lash out with your broad,
baseless, unfounded assumptions.
