hi, I'm alex, I'm a 17 years old german student and I'm collecting vintage computers!

I currently have

- An atari portfolio
- A HP 95Lx
- A Psion Organiser II (XP)
- A Sharp PC-1401
- And an olivetti M15

As you might have guessed from the list above, I prefer old portables ^^
I'm happy there's at least one active forum on the web about vintage computers, most of the other sites are dead...

Well, they are certainly easier to store :)

Only thing is they tend to have these wired-in batteries which can be a pain to replace.

Welcome to the forums!

Ah, someone else who likes the small ones! I have two pocket computers myself, and I'm currently working on porting some programs to them. The software library for those old pocket computers is far from impressive, so I figured I'd thicken it up a bit. In my spare time, I'm working on a website to host home-made and typed-in programs for those things (currently, most of them are games).

Welcome aboard!
