There is a very nice feeling when something that you've created (no
matter if it's been done before) works for the first time. And it's a
great pity that not many people these days get the chance to feel it.

I tend to feel the upsurge in collecting is related just to this. Getting an
old computer up and running is likely more of a rush to me than the actual
usage of it. I'm likely to turn over a machine I don't especially want in
my collection happily to someone that wants one, for free once I've got it
going even tho I've spent umpteen hours and some $ on it.
