  • Computers I Have Owned
By drink | Mon September 02, 2024

I was just wondering to myself how many computers I could think of that I've owned, and maybe if I can remember enough of them I can do something interesting with the info. The idea is to get them into chronological order. This is expected to be a work in progress, I/we will see how much work and how much progress can be achieved. I'm also jotting notes about what I remember about their disposition.
