Well, I have been giving my "old" chess toys to my son.  He plays with them
awhile and then puts them into a closet or whatever.

What are you doing with these little beasties?  Are you disassembling them?
Starting a museum?  I guess the same questions could be asked about old chess
software.  How many programmers keep their obsolete old versions just for the
sake of nostalgia?
