The article is interesting-ish because yes it's reader's digest but it's just a rehash of the same old list of tired favorites without a lot of probing research. It might be more interesting if there was a little about what makes a computer valuable rather than just what prices computers went for in the past on ebay or sotheby's auction house.

Missing: Commodore 65 Olivetti 101 ETC.
