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
Collecting is preserving

Pieffe's Macs
My Apple collection all started with a Macintosh SE HDFD that I used to write my thesis in the late '80s.
