My last word on building computers!

I?m not sure to what degree one can/wish to build there own car. If one puts their mind to it; then anything is possible. I?m sure this applies only to die-hard builders and not representative of the ?average? guy/gal. One, and I may be stereotyping here, does not have the time to build much of anything is this hurried world we inhabit. I know this website caters to the experimenter/hobbyist in the computing world but I wonder how many of us have the time/inclination to build an old machine. I recently tried to revive my Coleco ADAM but couldn?t find old capacitors/transformers ? maybe in America they?re available! (I could run an emulator on my PC/Mac but to what end? It?s definitely not the same as running the real thing is it?) As for new machines I guess there are builders /programmers of Raspberry Pi?s but they have a limited use for power users and for ?old? computer aficionados of classic computing era! Do young people want to do this? They may be computer savvy but I don?t think too many have an interest in building anything, particularly from the vintage era. My friend?s grandson, he?s 7, told me the computer is a tool for getting ahead not for looking back. Yikes! Happy computing! Murray :)
