Just some random thought - I thought it might make for an interesting discussion.
Once you get into retro computing, how far back do you go? How old is too old? Do you stop with a 486? Is a 386 still useful? How about an 8088?
I got started thinking about this looking at an old Commodore 64 on Ebay. I used to have two of those and learned a lot of programming on them. It might be fun to get one, hook it up, and turn it on. That would last for about five minutes, and then you'd realize you can't really do anything with it, not by today's standards.
Kind of sad........
