Your "correction" misses my point. I said *supporting* really old kit is a pain.
I play with the stuff fairly regularly for my own purposes. There is a tidy pile of scavenger fodder next to my desk right now, and boxes of it on racks in our office. However, for various reasons, I really don't like to do IT support for family and friends on old gear. It's a mug's game.
