From the Boston Globe:

In the first purchase of his collection, Sellam Ismail loaded the trunk of his car with old computers he stumbled upon at a flea market for $5 apiece. Soon he had filled his three-car garage with what others would consider obsolete junk.

Years later, his collection of early computers, printers, and related parts is piled high across shelves and in chaotic heaps in a 4,500-square-foot warehouse near Silicon Valley. And it is worth real money.


Damn! I knew I shouldn't have thrown out my old AST computer with Windows 3.1! Remember when Paint was called Paintbrush? I had a ton of games on there, too...I miss Treasure Cove and Millie's Math House.
