[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1013166, member: 199791"] There's so little gold in computer scrap that 50p is about as much as someone might get if they got lucky, it is indeed the operation of such machines people are buying them up for, usually for retro gaming and just generally collecting them to preserve a piece of history, I'm keeping my Olivetti M4 Pentium 75 around because it's just nice to go back to something simple that just works, switch it on, start windows, play games, done, unlike today where it's switch on, enter passwords, wait a week for updates, complain about said updates on forums, get forced into an OS upgrade, system gets corrupted and everything has to be started all over again and so-on... :) [/QUOTE]
