Well, I've got an IBM PC XT (circa 1984) that features 640KB of RAM, a 4.77MHz
Intel processor and (wait for it...) _no_ hard drive (only two 5.25" 360KB
floppy drives). Last year, when the 20th anniversary of these machines was
celebrated (they were initially released in 1981), I posted to the related
Slashdot story asking if they were worth any money. The general consensus was
that they are worth next-to-nothing in monetary terms, since so many were made.
