I consider less common machines way cooler than boxes you can find at
the next corner, and I consider this a "serious" criterium.
So, why don't we take into account the number of units that were built
when rating the machine? This number should go into the denominator to
decrease the rating for use-once-and-throw-away computers, of course. A
Z1 rating would not be influenced too badly (only one original plus one
reconstruction, AFAIK, and I even doubt the reconstruction needs to be
counted), but those PeeCees will need their rating to be recomputed
daily...
