Hi Al;

Well - people collect different things. Some like to reminisce over
past technology or art/furniture.

I had a friend that had an old IBM punch card machine. She did payroll
on it. I'd use it on the weekends to make cards in assembly language
that I'd put into the card reader at work.

It's fun/interesting to play with old stuff.

UE,
