As a retro being, I sometimes feel stuck gazing at my rear mirror instead of looking forward through the windshield and as I try to begin conversations with friends and family about those "good ol' days", I notice something odd: they don't seem to care as much as I do? Have they moved on? How?

Why am I a retro hardware/software hoarder? Why do I hark back to "that time" so often? Nostalgia can be a bitch.
Is there anyone with similar feelings that has researched the topic a bit?
