I'm losing interest in modern computers, except as tools. Vintage computers are much more interesting as a hobby because you actually stand a chance of being able to understand how the entire thing works, transistors up. It's also nice that a lot of the schematics and repair manuals are available for these old machines so you fire up an oscilloscope and fix just about anything that might be wrong, unless they use some hard-to-find custom ICs.
