Well, I feel the trend of wanting to harbor old computers (ie. collect)
will continue to grow. More and more people each year are finding an
interest in old computers. I'm sure by the time you pass on there will
be several competent organizations or individuals who you would be
comfortable bequathing your collection to.
personally that has these "old" computer
interests except maybe the
speculator type, only this list. Those with private museums, will you be
collecting this stuff in say 20 years, or will you be looking to pass it
along? To ??? For old radios I can consider the AWA museum, as assume it
I can only assume that I will be as interested in my computers in 20 years
as I am now. Hopefully by then, I will have an established foundation
dedicated to the preservation of these beloved beasts, and VCF XXII will
be hosting 100,000 visitors from all over the world :)
When I die (I'm not planning to but who knows what lays ahead :) the folks
running my foundation will hopefully carry on in my memory and not give in
to the temptation of auctioning off the entire collection on eBay.
