Quoting John Allain <allain(a)panix.com>om>:
but has anyone at one of these museums ever attempted
to defend
their postion by saying "Authentic peroid components only"?
I'm sure some would say that. The problem there is that, someday,
"authentic period components" are going to be nonexistent, unless
someone provides a way to manufacture more (replicators, maybe?). If
they want a working system, they must be prepared to sacrifice the
"componental periodic authenticity" (?) of the machine. Sorry, but
stuff breaks.
Replicators... hmm... "Solder. Tin Lead. Hot."
