I don't know what it is about Finnish culture that results in such a significant number of permacomputing hackers¹ that go to great lengths to preserve old-hardware, but I am grateful for it. ¹ When I say significant I mean "at least two, but one of them is viznut"². That is significant, right? ² http://viznut.fi/en/ http://viznut.fi/en/
