There's a good article in this month's Wired on what they call
"retroactivism" - people using trailing edge computers in preference to the
latest Wintel box - for all the reasons we're familiar with: stability,
well-understood O/Ses, nostalgia, etc. The VCF gets some mention, and
several classiccompers (notably Allison Parent) are quoted. A good,
balanced article that doesn't have the faintly mocking tone of that other
recent article (in the magazine with Rosie the Robot on the cover).
Cheers,
Mark.
