How is this any worse than many institutional and club computer museums,
as well as individual collector's collections, which have a
CPU but not the disk/tape drives and operating system? I agree, it's a
shame, and in the perfect world there'd be a way to run old systems
forever, but evidently folks' priorities aren't geared to keeping complete
systems.
