My personal advice is: chill out. For many years I built most of my life (certainly all my spare time) in an effort to archive obsolete software from certain minicomputer systems. PDP-11's, -10's, DG Novas, etc. I had lots of fun. A small fraction of the world seemed to have some appreciation for what I was doing, and that was enough. But in the past 5 years the "data archiving" world has gone big-business. Defense contractors/aerospace companies are collecting good chunks of a billion dollars for doing nothing. Museums go off and do their stuff and the world never sees the results (if any) publicly. It frustrates me every time I think about it. But what can I do? The world at large doesn't care about sharing the results of old digital archives, and I'm in effect airbrushed out of the picture. So I find something else to do. I've got a day job running a $10 Billion peripheral that keeps me busy most of the time. There's enough frustration and heartache there. (Also some satisfaction, too.) The rest of my time is spent tinkering with complex electromechanical systems for fun, definitely not in any attempt to make the world a better place. I am having fun, for the most part. The most frustration comes when I decide to "look back" and see how nothing that I did made any difference in the end. Oh well, it was fun at the time. Look for that instead - don't focus so much on acquiring/trading/valueing stuff in your case. Tim.
