I think we will be the ones to carry on microcomputer history, and I'm sure
there will always be groups who will discuss this and restore equipment like
we do now, the same way that there aren't too many auto museums, but all
over the world, there are plenty of personal collections and museums in
peoples backyards.

I read an article today in 'New
Scientist' entitled 'Innovation: Classic
computers on the danger list' with Tom Simonite writing: "Pretty much
every
adult alive today has seen computers change the world, but we are doing
precious little to celebrate the influence of the computers and software
that created our society." Indeed! Are we failing to preserve the earliest
part of microcomputing history? Will classiccmp.org discuss early
ucomputers
in 5 yrs., 10 yrs.?
Here's a link to (what appears to be) the article in question:
