Vintage technology up for auction. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8275483.stm
This story both pleases and saddens me.
It pleases me that old tech is being taken seriously. After all, this stuff changed the world way more than (almost) any book, painting, or tune ever did.
It pleases me that in future people might think twice before throwing old electronics into a skip and not consider if someone, somewhere, might like it.
It saddens me that as with so much collecting it is seen as ticking off items on a list - the first TV, computer, pocket calculator...
