They will be, eventually. An interesting parallel can be made to now very collectable radios from the 1920s and 30s. Both they and PeeCees were built like crap, worked like crap, often built by shakey companies violating all sorts of things, and have almost zero engineering value. I think laptops will be hot collectables, as they are small and often clever. I say yes to all of these. High quality things of any nature tend to become collectable as soon as they fall out of popular use. Look at the Sun-2 and 3 lines - they are now way obsolete, yet are still very popular machines amongst the Sunheads. I know someone that could have purchased a CM-2 for $800. There was also that Stardent machine that was mentioned on the list a few months ago. Never say never. William Donzelli william(a)ans.net
