The title is linkbait. The article is about Britain's first Vintage Computer Festival. The title is based on a quote:

Andy Clark, a director and trustee of the National Museum of Computing, said the vintage machines helped to generate interest in technology: "People come along, look at them, get engaged and interested, and that's our next generation of computer scientists".

While the article is mildly interesting, the title is misleading.

I still have my alpha, my apple cube, and my o2... but my trs 80 was apparently jacked. =/

ah well. I cut my unix teeth on a 386, and then an alpha. and I'm 28.
