But is it a museum piece if it has been altered? Would you say that Picasso's Guernica is hopelessly outdated, and should be improved by adding a splash of color here and there to make it more modern? As for bolting a turbo onto a Model T Ford...
If the point is having a computer capable of running modern software, which seems to be the original poster's intention, he can spend the same amount of money more wisely, and STILL have a quaint museum piece as a backup. I have plenty of museum pieces in my closet. I'm not getting rid of them, but I'm not eager to use them on a daily basis, either. Life is too short.
