And, do you use classic computers by 1.) choice, 2.)

or 3.) technological need (that is, legacy connectivity)...?

Some of 1.) and some of 2.)
I don't like PeeCees. They are cheap, unreliable crap. Yes, they are
fast, but they tend to be quirky and buggy as hell. I spent too much
time in the past (and currently still do at work) working around stupid
PeeCee problems. So this fits to 1.)
I use Unix machines. A new Alpha, UltraSPARC, Tezro / Onyx, RS/6000,
HP/9000, ... would be fine. But it is out of budget. Even a G5 PowerMac.
(I have enough money for a G5 Mac, but as I don't have a _real_ need for
it I don't by one.) => 2.)
