LOL, that would've been me you're talking about.

I guess the fact you bring this point up already proves that this is a very subjective thing. In my view, the Plus is a pretty common machine. I see it on auctions all the time, it was one of the most popular Macs ever and the longest one in production, so my guess is there are many people who still have a Plus stashed away somewhere. Also, its use is fairly limited compared to some of the other Macs I have, and the fact that I didn't have to put any effort into getting it, are all reasons why I might be a bit under-appreciative for this particular conquest.

On the other hand, someone else might go "Oh my god, a complete, fully functioning, well preserved, vintage '86 Mac Plus?! That's totally frickin' awesome!". I can fully understand such an opinion, but again it depends a lot on your point of view. Which is why I think you can't really categorize conquests into distinct awesomeness-levels.
