No point in caring about what comes after we're gone, follow amiga92570's example, cos once you've shuffled off this mortal coil nothing matters anymore... 
I disagree with this logic. Kind of like having life insurance for your loved ones... the gift that keeps on giving sort of thing. lol Good to maintain classic hardware for others (be it family, friends or those who purchase your goods after you're gone) and besides, there's nothing like playing on the real thing. I haven't messed around with emulation too much because I just don't enjoy it. I guess if I didn't have the know-how to keep classic hardware running, I'd be more inclined to pursue the emulation thing.
Simply put though, I like the looks and feel of using vintage/classic equipment. Always have. Always will. Plus, there will always be value in real original hardware. There's little to no value in modern computers emulating real machines. Time has proven this over and over again and not just using computers as an example. ALL vintage electronics, antiques, furniture, autos, etc.
