Museums

With regard to Museums there's something they could do to help the collector community. There's a tendency for them to accept any and every thing and just put it into storage. They only pick items to restore and display with the widest appeal. Many exhibits are static insofar as they don't run. Collectors in the main have very little storage but do attempt to get what they have running. Is it not better for the museums to loan out systems to collectors who will get them going again and either return or keep them in working order. Most computer museums do want volunteers but that involves traveling to the museum site to work. Worse still they tend to put technically competent people to work cleaning floors and painting buildings.
