Hi Kurt,

Same here.

It`s not that they`re "back in style" I think. It`s just that some
people are hoarders, so they appeared to consciously make hoarding obsolete
hardware their hobby. The truth is it`s hard to be a hoarder if you don`t
have a spacious basement. :-)

I started with only a 486/DX4 back in the day (as my 1st home
PC). The earliest memory of a PC I have seems to be an XT with an
orange phosphor display, but I don`t think I`d put it to good use
nowadays.
