Well in my case, I find them pleasing to look at. I
like seeing, and being able to touch, systems that I
have heard about or know about, butI do not own.
That sounds very much like an individual seeking out
autographs in person from celebrities. I don't sense
anything particularly educational about that type of
experience with computers.

Of course, but that doesn't mean that there's
anything
wrong with it.
Neither did I say there was. I asked whether you might
suggest "other causes even more significant" than a personal
hobby.
