Recording the history of computing for future generations will be so important for a wide range of studies.

It's great people collect, restore, and publish valuable historical pieces like these.

I'm not disagreeing, but I'm not necessarily convinced there's real value "for future generations". I love nostalgia, but it seems pretty useless beyond the entertainment value.

What benefits do you, or others, see in looking back at these computer systems?

Thanks.
