Me too of course, but see below.

Same here of course.
Yes, I'd miss this list, but I think I could live
without it...
Don't worry, you'll be the first person I'll invite to mine!

Screw the rest of them. Do we really need them, those modern computer
wallopers? A true Classic Computist is one whose Classic Computers are
his newest computers. I judge people by their newest computers. If you
have an XP box and use it, to me you are a worthless XP luser, and I don't
care whether or not you also happen to have a PDP-11 or whatnot in your
basement. It's your newest and most actively used computer that counts
to me. If you have a PDP-11/45 and want me to respect you as a PDP-11/45
user, then make that PDP-11/45 your main and primary computer and throw
that XP box out the window.
