Such a collection is quite admirable and valuable.
But using the term "online museum" just *continues* to depreciate
the meaning of a museum.
Anyone can make a website, take photos, copy documentation, etc,
etc, and then call it an online museum.
Anyone with the resources required to do so, yes. Just like
anyone with the required resources can acquire a building, fill it
with stuff to show off, and have a real physical museum.
One takes significantly more resources than the other, of course,
but where do you draw the line?
And why are we really all that worried about it?
Then who's to say that you ever have to own the
equipment anymore
in the first place ?
Is that really relevant?
