R.D.
We went over this before in grueling detail. It is not bad for the hobby.
If anything it gets more people involved and interested. What if YOU were
not in the practice of collecting old computers and you read that article?
Would YOU decide that now would be a good time to collect old computers
for profit later? Or you would decide, "Hey, neat! That's for me!"
Don't be such a cynical bastard. You'll end up like Wayne Green.
