Nice post, but not everyone is in to old computers for future potential investment value. The thought never even occurred to me when I was acquiring the machines I have, I don't care what their value is or becomes, and the sight of hoarders doing so to hit upon some jackpot kind sickens my stomach. I just have a severe aversion to all forms of greed.
The fact that a friggin' *movie* raises the value of something, also really irks me. How did movies ever become the be-all, end-all?
I'm sure others are irked as well by the intrusions of greed or irrationality into what can otherwise be a pure, unadulterated, hobby. Isn't it funny that the word "adult" is used in "adulterated" -- as if the notion of adulthood renders things impure. Well, in this case, certain forms of adulthood do due render this hobby impure.
