There's a lot to be said for it. I have 3 year old box running 64 bit Windows 7
 w/mirrored drives and VMs of DOS, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and
Windows XP. I can fire up an environment, play with it, and bring it down when
I'm done.

(I'd forgotten how much time I spent in the DOS days trying to load TSRs and
drivers in high memory!)
 
I'm keeping my eyes open for an old copy of GEOWorks and a copy of OS/2 to
complete my retro computing environment.

I do love running old hardware, but with a crazy job and 2 kids it requires too
much time and space.
