I couldn't agree more. I can't stand people who will gladly destroy a
computer as classic as an IBM 1130 for the gold. There are some things that
are more important than money. (To us, anyway.)
Maybe its just my personal sensitive spot, but cutting
up a IBM 1130 for
gold makes me what to flay somebody.

New subject: Everyone here should read this.. I thought I'd seen everything.
Flay somebody? We all knew these gold processing plants existed,
right? I'd never heard a tale of the scope, though. Even still,
it's clear this factory has volume. There's not enough classic
computer collectors in the world to rescue all those machines.
We can wish there was a better mechanism for us to be able to
cherry-pick the make and model we dream of, but the fact is,
John B. just took a tour of a very large, very efficient,
and apparently profitable Dumpster.

I wonder if it is "remotely" possible to get some small set of computers
declared "historical landmarks" with similar treatment? People should not
have the automatic right to destroy history, or historical artifacts.
And make that roast, then flay, slow. ;)
