I just had a "fun" realization that despite collecting old computers, I hate all the companies who made them.

I guess what I'm into is what they brought to society. I'm interested in all the contributions people made to the world of computers. The fun we had on them. The usefulness they still potentially have. The long nights programmers spent writing code for to make a program that people used for a little while, then sadly discarded.

That is why I hunt for old programs.

What's also hilarious is that while most of my time using old computers is on Windows, I have many more Apple computers that are just sitting around gathering dust.

I'll probably sell most of the apples when I move, but the question is: which ones?
