Well, yes, if today's value to collectors is what you are considering.  However,
this computer was so weak that even I could beat it and made illegal moves, so I
have been told.  Now this is one that I really have no intention of ever
purchasing.  That can't be said of too many, as I am discovering.

Of course, the value only comes into play if you plan on selling it someday.
