As far as I'm concerned, not at all. I've always maintained that there is
no one right reason for collecting computers. If you can make money off
of them, so be it. What I'm concerned about is that people would actually
be willing to pay the prices we've been seeing.
I just can't believe this "source" you found. In light of recent events,
it sounds like you found the equivalent of the richest vein of gold during
the gold rush. Some people have ALL the luck ;)
But the personal computer is now as important as the
electric
lamp was 100 years ago. And, over time, the first examples
will be regarded with the same reverance as Edison's first
light bulbs. I feel lucky to be one of the people witnessing
the birth of that.
At least Edison's light bulb worked well :)
