Emulation's useful, but it's something that I've been doing in various forms for over half of my life. There'd be a novelty to actually running something on a 40 or 50 year old piece of refurbished hardware, adapted to run as a host on the Internet.
No doubt. I had a few raised eyebrows back when my company ditched a VAX 11/730 and I took it, but it was a VAX that ran on 110 and it was my very own. Made a damn fine usenet node for the limited feed that went to it.
