It's comforting to know others are interested in "retrocomputing". For some reason I like slow old computers too. (Not being sarcastic here at all)

  It's preserving our history. We can learn a lot from what we already did. Besides, when the machines take over, they may want to spare those who respected them ;-) I hope they feed me and keep my cage clean.

  Same. Sometimes they are faster and more productive, despite being older.

  I've got a soft spot for the Z80 and they were considered out of date by the time I was born. A few years ago I found a great book on how to build a simple microcomputer based on the Z80. I learned a ton working through that book and that little chip brought me a lot of joy. I've still got a couple Z80s in my part drawer... you know... just in case...

    Z80 was only out of date when you were born if you're not TI.
