Retro Computing


Recommended Posts

I've been interested in the history of computing for a long time and I've been meaning to get hold of some old hardware for a while. Up until now everything I've found has been ridiculously expensive (like over 1000 gbp for a 1970s commodore PET). There seems to be a massive collectors market, which pushes the price up.

To my delight, I found an old Acorn BBC Micro on ebay for 50 gbp and only a few miles from my house. Picked it up today :)
