I think a collection of Unix workstations would be mighty fine - Suns,
SGIs, NeXTs, etc.. I also think a collection of laptops (yes, PC) would
also be very nice. In other words, if the items show sparks of creativity
and/or clever engineering, a nice collection can be made.

People said that transistor radios would never be collectable - now there
is a huge following. The same will happen with the equipment from
the 1990s.
