True the prices may be getting out of hand, but that also means the value of
those bit piles we all own are actually worth something should we need it.
That doesn't matter to me, I don't really care what all these old dino's are
worth, but it does help me justify it my wife when I tell her they are
actually worth something more than sentimental value to me :)

Computer collecting was a lot more fun when you
could grab a random
machine for a few pounds/dollars, take it home and enjoy it.
I agree. That's why I hate the commercialization now occuring in this
hobby. I't just about gaurantees that there will be few
newcomers into the
hobby that can amass the bit piles many of us own and love to explore.
