I agree. One of the things that got me curious
about the field was how
neat these dinosaurs looked. Even my cctech-uninterested friends agree
that some things in my collection looks neat.
Hmmm... As a general point here, I'm a little
fed up with classic
computer websites that show a front view of the machine and little more.
OK, perhaps I use the web a little differently to most people, but when I
do a search on some classic computer, I normally know what it looks like,
I've got one in front of me :-). Pictures of the insides would be a lot
more use.
If you've got one in front of you, why do you need pictures of the
inside?
;) But seriously... my goal for this wasn't for the grizzled veterans. Part
of my ideas for the future of ClassicCMP.org are designed to help bring
new/young people into the hobby. Otherwise it'd be a mailing list and a
character-based text/website. Newbies don't know when they see a straight-8
what it is. Or an altair. They didn't grow up drooling over one.
Well, *I*
sure did. The Altair, that is. :)
