I collect computer hardware, monitors.tvs,radios,vcrs,car parts....ect for the same reason. I only have 5 cpus and the oldest one is a intel from 95 which was my first computer.I thought it would be neat to keep them as a reminder of where we have come from.
We live in amazing times. There's no other technology that has experienced such a massive and sustained improvement over time like integrated circuits have.Interestingly,even if someone added the computing power of all these together somehow,they probably wouldn't match a modern CPU.Strange,eh?
Why do people save their garbage? I once knew a guy who had two bedrooms and half a house full of newspapers going back to 1965. Another guy I once lived next to had about 40 or 50 rusting washers and dryers sitting in his back yard.
