Collection hero

A curated archive of vintage computing

It all started back in the '80s when my parents bought me a Macintosh FDHD. A decade later, it was moved down to the basement. When the pandemic hit, I brought it back up and started restoring it. That sparked my interest in other vintage Apple computers, and I began collecting them, also expanding to other devices—a habit that continued long after the pandemic ended. My buying has slowed down recently, though, as prices have skyrocketed
