Honestly, refreshing news.

I love to see folks thinking about hardware reuse for longer term sustainability. As we reach the natural limit of Moore's Law, it's a great time to think about the possibility that a simple computer produced today may be perfectly functional in half a century.

Edit: And I'm calling it now - "Antique Computers" are going to be all the rage, particularly if they're actually able to run functional home solutions.
