I'm all for it, we need to hold on to our computer heritage. Who knows maybe some tech geek will dissect this thing and have the light bulb come on that nobody even thought of. The approach to programming and system building was so different than today you would be surprised what you might learn from something like that.

This weekend I got to digging around in my closet and found my first build just sitting there looking all sad and lonely so I dug it out and threw some parts together and now I've got a working 950mhz AMD Duron with a whopping 10gb hard drive with XP Pro...it's actually running pretty smoothly. It won't any games to speak of but I couldn't care less about that stuff.
