The problem with trying to use a really old machine is finding software that works with it. You might be able to find word processors and spreadsheets because those were sold in large numbers and a lot survived but once you move into other areas, like if you needed a recipe filing program or something to print labels for your VHS tapes(!), then things are going to become more difficult. Most of the old public domain and shareware software or even many commercially released programs that never saw widespread circulation during the 80's and 90's is probably lost forever.
