I first learned to program on an Apple ][ in high school. My fascination for computer was immediate and life lasting.
I created a collection of the first computers I used and a few more interesting ones. I have upgraded and even modernized
most of these computers to make them user-friendly and more enjoyable to use.
Macintosh 128k
The Macintosh was built in January 1984 and it is the 831st Macintosh built. I consider this computer to be jewel of my computer collection. No modifications have been done to this unit. Additionally, it has its original mouse, keyboard and beige bag.
Sharp PC-1211
The Sharp PC-1211 is a pocket computer marketing by Sharp Corporation in the 1980s. The computer was powered by two 4-bit CPUs laid out in power-saving CMOS circuitry. One acted as the main CPU, the other dealt with the input/output and display interface. Users could write computer programs in BASIC. This PC-1211 is housed on a CE-122 Printer and Cassette interface. The PC-1211 was also released as the TRS-80 Pocket Computer.
Nixdorf LK-3000
A pocket computer made by the German company Nixdorf, the LK-3000 is not really a computer at all! What it is... well, it's a case containing a display, a keyboard, associated control and decoding circuitry, batteries, a power plug, and a cartridge port... but no processor, no memory, and zero functionality unless a cartridge is inserted.
