Well, for my question, it doesn't matter if it is personal computer or a
mainframe or whatever.

Although I would rule out the Voyager computer for two reasons. 1: You
can't say for sure that it is still running (is it still sending back
data?) and 2: Its only still running because no one shut it off.

However, I WOULD consider any original ground based systems that are
still in use listening for data from Voyager to be valid. At least they
are still serving a purpose even if they aren't getting any data.
