I have a strong interest in the computers that were first available when I was young: primarily the 8- and 16-bit "Home Computer" machines. These tended to be consumer / small-office machines from the 1980s up until the market dominance of the beige box IBM PC around 1993.
I began with an Atari 800 and that machine is still in my collection. Since then I began to slowly accumulate more items until I have a small-scale museum in my garage.
From time to time I feel it would be useful to catalogue my collection and post details online, so that I may refer others to the site.
These are machines that I currently own, in whatever state they may be. Click on a link to be taken to a detail page for each machine.
