Yes, very much so.  My computer collection goes back to 1969 and I am
collecting hardware\software monthly.  I did a quick check around the shack
a few months ago, I have about three dozen, all in immaculate condition and
working order from Z80 to P4, a feww with odd-ball processors, no numbers
come to mind at the moment, I'dhave to open them, but, 14, 16, 20 pic DIPs,
one uses an MP1312 processor, programmed in Binary or Hexadecimal through a
20 button matrix, that's the "trainer", sitting next to me as I type this.
A lot of the more archiac equipment, punchcard, magnetic card, punchcard
size and shape, but, instead of chits to knock out, little magnetic spots
are written to in their place and one with programs written to a chip buried
in a porcelain slate about 3"x5" with a black handle on the edge are in
storage.  Until two weeks ago my primary field computer was a relatively new
80586, 100 MHz, maxed out with 39 MB of
RAM running a mixture of DOS 6.22, 7.01 and Windows 3.11 and Windows 98SE.

: -Is there anyone still keeping with care and love a 286 or even a 386?
