Uncle Roger's Classic Computers

As seen in PC Portables, Wired Online, and on C|Net!

Wizards of a modern age cast spells of electric power...

-- Triumph, Just a Game

visit the vintage computer festival!

I met my first computer, a DEC PDP-11/70, in 1981, and I've been hooked ever since. I got a computer of my own, an Atari 600XL, in 1982 or '83. I got my first Laptop, a Radio Shack Model 100 in 1984.

When I made the formal decision to begin collecting computers, I decided to collect portables, and computers I had lusted after. After considering these criteria, and the computers that fit them, I realized they were pretty much the same.

Here then, are some of those computers.
