Yes..... but if the unimaginable happened, how great it would be to have some computers - even old models - which were still functional to be able to do the marvelous things they can do.

Forstchen illustrated this in I believe, his 2nd book.He goes through all the reasons why it is a great idea to try to save the higher tech if possible. If you have not read them, please consider doing so! Having functional computers allows us to bootstrap out of the mid 1800’s technology to which we would otherwise be foisted.
