I super doubt that. I don't think my collection is significant in any way. I decided long ago that I would collect very few computers and that they would have to be things that I personally used and care about. So, I have the following:

KIM-1

Sharp MZ-80K

Research Machines 380Z

Research Machines 480Z

BBC Micro Model B (my original machine)

OLPC XO-1 (my original machine)

Minitel 1b

Minitel 2

IBM ThinkPad 701c (the one I did a complete restoration on)

And that's it. These are all in working order because I keep them that way. Truly believe that keeping these machines alive it important.

My apologies. My presumption was based on a fever dream from what I know of the many ex microsofties from U. Waterloo and elsewhere in Canada that have piles of retro gear. Eg. Vax 11/780 and two PDP in basement and garage and 20+ workstations from their career at MS.
I am glad you keep a curated set of devices.

  Oh, I know people like that! I just took a different path.
