I graduated not long ago with a B.S. Degree in history, and a strong interest in computers. What it gained me was a position with a smaller company that had need of an IT person who could keep the old Tandy machines communicating with the new HP pavillions, NT Server, and the like. In all likelyhood the ability to understand and work with the recently or not so recently obsolete technology is of far more use to the word than simply archiving the hows and why's of PCs past.
