I own a smartphone, but I also really enjoy messing around with old hardware because its fascinating and illuminating to see what has changed and what hasn't. Maybe some present day readers of Don quixote find the same enjoyment?
I think its very funny as in laugh out loud funny, regardless of its age. The situations are plainly ridiculous on the face of them. Its more Marx brothers than Noel Coward funny, the former is timeless while the latter is the kind of curiosity more akin to vintage computing.
