Alright, in case you couldn't tell, I spent my day in and out of vintage and antique stores, trying to talk myself out of buying arcade games and vintage macs.
At this, I was fairly successful, but it kicked off a whole mess of thoughts in my head that I'm having a hard time getting rid of.
(Hence, my recent thread on getting old computers to talk to new hardware.)
So, I'm going to unlist this thread and run down some thoughts.
