Didn't we decide this was a hoax?

['Computer Collector Newsletter']

Yes, that's basically the case, as I understand it.  Not ego though, just
genuine good intentions, perhaps slightly misguided.

Perhaps his 'ego' is wrapped up in it remaining a collection.  It isn't
unusual for somebody to spend a lifetime putting together what they consider
'the ultimate collecton' and despairing at the idea of it being split apart
into fragments, undoing the thing the collector worked long and hard to
accomplish.  It isn't unusual for collectors of various things to want to
bestow them, complete, to an institution that will keep it together as a
collection.
