Honest! I'm not making this up! Gee, my Altair must be worth millions!
I wish!
Some yahoo on www.haggle.com had an Apple Lisa listed for $15,000.00. People
collect these old machines, but not for the money, for the nostalgia mostly.
At least that's how it is in my case, although I do use some of my machines
on a daily basis. (Mostly for playing my collection of ancient games that
just seem to run like greased electrons on my Cyrix 200 system. :)

Heh, heh. Want real fun, try playing the original DOS version of Falcon on
that Cyrix. Talk about poor programming, on a 286 it was pretty much
unplayable, which brought about Falcon AT. On a 386sx/16 you were dead
from crashing before you knew you had started playing!
I remember Wing
Commander on that same 386sx/16 was pretty awsome, but way to fast
for me
at least on my 486DX/33 when I got it. On the otherhand, something like
Master of Orion just gets better with faster systems!
