I don't think we'll see that. I think they'll always have some
significant monetary value, and I do see culturally significant machines
going up in value over time (like Apple 1's).
I just looked at the Altair auction. In it they mention the original
owner used the Altair up until they got a TRS-80. In one of the pictures
we see two TRS-80 disk drives supposedly hooked up to the Altair.
Duh.
I'm guessing they were NOT used with the Altair.
