Let's face it: We, old lads (35+), love those 8-bit clunkers for they 
remind us our childhood, our first computing experiences, or both. This 
is why I collect 8-bit computers, and I suspect that in 25 years from 
now, 35+ people will collect PSP, Game Boy Advance, and iPhone devices 
for the same reasons.

If you were to sell late seventies/early eighties type of computers 
(e.g. 1-MHz, 8-bit CPU w/ 64KB RAM) nowadays, I predict that 95% of your 
clientele would be old nostalgic chaps like us. I also predict you 
wouldn't sell millions of them...

We are strange birds, aren't we?
