I’ve been collecting vintage computers since the early 90s. As a teenager witnessing a flood of beige PC compatibles, I became aware of how unique old computers were and became determined to keep some around.
Later on I began buying them for my business, which uses them as advertising/promotional material. We take them out to trade shows and they are always a big draw. We even repair and sell vintage computers now. People really seem to love old stuff, whatever it is, but computers are uniquely special because of the way you can interact with them and make them do interesting things.
Anyway, I’ve produced a list of my collection. Not all the links are live, but those that are contain more detailed info. Some are just short summaries and others will be extended blogs that document their arrival, reconditioning and use. Hopefully over time I’ll get around to creating little blogs for each. Enjoy and thanks for visiting!
