As long as they're not something like Sparcbooks or the legendary
Alphabook, who cares as long as they're dead. Most people just toss
these things when they're dead or no longer wanted. Think of it as
saving them from polluting some landfill.

Besides their idea of vintage is probably Sony Viao's or Apple iBooks
and Powerbooks.
