Getting started with old school computing...

Whether you are old enough to have lived through the 8-bit home computing boom in the early 80's, or you arrived late at the party - if you are thinking about getting a vintage gaming computer to spend some late nights with some old classics, this is the place for you.

I wasn't clever enough to keep all my old stuff, and over the years, it all ended up thrown out. Big mistake!

So I had to get a "new" one. In that process, I learned a lot - and I made a few mistakes.

So, what's the point of this page?

Well, to tell you about it, so that maybe you can learn from my mistakes. Maybe even learn things you didn't know, or be reminded of things you had forgotten!

Okay, but what makes you an expert?

Nothing! I am not, nor do I claim to be, an expert on the subject. What I do have is a bit of experience. You want my life story? Okay, read about me! On the other hand, if you are a purist, you will most likely get hurtful tics from this!
