The thing is though, my interest in them is primarily
in the hardware
anyway. Once I've stripped them down, repaired them and found out what
"makes them tick" my interest in them is pretty much over (though again,
YEs, me too. Once I've understood tha hardware to the lowest level
possible (to gate/trasnsitor level in many cases), and once I've repaired
the machine so that it can boot the OS, etc, I try it out for a bit and
then generally loose interest and go to investigate something else.
