This theme seems to keep popping up.
This is definitely a hobby of time, in many regards. We're playing with
computers that were built a long time ago. We're looking at computers as
they've progressed and changed over time. And it takes time to seek out
and find old computers.
Besides money, you must also invest time in searching out old computers.
If you've only been at this for a few short months and are frustrated
because you haven't found many old computers, don't be. You are still
just a beginner. It takes years to assemble a significant collection.
Have patience. Take your time :)
