I think that one shouldn't forget how difficult it is, to get "old and interesting" machines.
To get a PDP-8 is certainly not easy if you just started collecting and if don't live in the states were it's a bit easier to get old computers.
I belong to the young members, too and I'm proud of my PDP11/23 I got on Ebay.
Young guys will certainly start to collect 10 or 15-year-old machines.
Computers of the 60s and 70s are cool, but try to find them in the year 2003 for less money...
Besides, nice machines were built in the 80s, I wouldn't draw a line at 1980...
