Why I started collecting old computers and vintage hardware. Growing up in the mid 80´s the computers and hardware made a huge impact on my childhood memories. I remember when we got our first VCR. My stepdad bought it together with 3 of his workmates and we timeshared it. 1 week a month. Before that time we had to rent a VCR at a local store. The Moviebox. Sure, some of my friends growing up had VCR´s at home. Some with a IR remote, some with a cable remote. And one poor kid with a Betamax. The rest of us had VHS.



Great Giana Sisters had to make room for Mario Bros, Duck Hunt and Metroid. Later the NES had to make room for the Amiga 500. I stuck with it until I played Wolfenstein 3D for the first time on a friends PC. Then it was PC for the next decade besides a minor guest appearance of a Amiga 1200 in the mid 90´s.



Today I use both PC and Mac daily. Mostly my iPhone and iPads. But I have made it my hobby and crusade to collect all the computers I had growing up. And probably every other thing I didn´t have. I mainly collect Commodore computers but I have some other old computers, technology and consoles like NES, Playstation, Atari, Macintosh, Atari, Gameboy and some old PC´s.
