There are some folks who think dead computers are of
value for something other
than parts, but I don't know very many. Give the sensible ones a break, will
you?
I'm not saying that the PCjr falls into this category, but there are any
number of systems that even if they're not working should be kept intact and
not junked or canibalized for whatever useful parts you can get. This
mainly applies to those machines that a collector is happy to find in any
condition due to their rarity.
