I don't see the connection, many 70's computers aren't
stackable, including all the single board "no case"
computers. In addition, you can make any unstackable
computer stackable by putting it in a box. Personally,
none of my computers are stack, so its not a problem
for me, my computers are all on their own shelfs (Home
Depot adjustable shelves, from 5 to 12 shelves from
floor to ceiling to accommodate various sized
computers). Manuals and books are stack in boxes
though.

Hopefully this isn't too off-topic, but a thought
just occured to me
about computers that some may, or may not, want to
collect in the
future, which aren't classics yet. It seems that
many of the newer

as well as a high
degree of user-annoyance, in mind. Somehow, either
some marketing
idiots, or clueless enginers, got the idea to design
computer
equipment that's unstackable due to its rounded-off
shape... the iMacs
and some Compaq PeeCees (e.g. Presario 4814) come to
mind. Is anyone
going to be seriously interested in collecting
computer equipment that
can't be stacked, and does anyone actually find
equipment that can't
be stacked, or have anything stacked on top of it
(not even a monitor
or books, etc), to be other than an annoyance?
