Anyway,
I'm one of the younger members of this list, but many of my
computers are older than I am by a significant margin.
Last time I demonstrated one of my minis to a university computer club, I
suddently realised that the machine was older than the students :-)

I think that one shouldn't forget how difficult it
is, to get "old and
interesting" machines.
I do know the problem. I'm finding it very hard to increase the
collection at the moment...
To get a PDP-8 is certainly not easy if you just
started collecting
Even 10 years ago PDP8s were not easy to find. I'd been seriously
collecting for at least 6 years before I managed to get one. PDP11s were
a bit easier to find.

Besides, nice machines were built in the 80s, I
wouldn't draw a line
at 1980...
I would agree with you. Problem is that the really nice computers of the
1980s (hey, who said 'PERQ' ? :-)) are not easy to find either...
