Collecting is one thing, but you can get some serious computing power for that price, like a pair of eight core Mac Pros.


Funny thing is, that 128 will be more useful and entertaining to someone in the future
than any Mac or PeeCee made today  ;-)

Well, it's bigger and heavier than two Mac Pros.  But I wouldn't give up the ability to edit video, audio and images, as well as the ability to render 3D images, for the ability to play chuncky graphic games...  

Nobody's asking you to :-)  I'm just saying: 10, 20, 30+ years from now, there will be
more people interested in purchasing a vintage Commodore product of yore than a
mainstream computer of today. And they will be willing to pay as much or more for said
vintage computers than what they could purchase a modern computer for in their time.
Put contextually, surely you can understand this. While the numbers may be off kilter,
we're witnessing this very phenomenon right now with Amiga stuff along with the multitude
of other vintage platforms.

But that was my original point.

@Persia,

 Nice pic of you creatively emulating a blue tooth device, but couldn't
you have found something like a doo rag instead of your bra!   lol
