I'm a vintage computer enthusiast from New Zealand who loves to collect, repair, and enjoy hardware from yesterday.
Some bonus streams will occur whenever I feel like it.
I haven't counted recently, but I'd estimate there is well over 80 machines in my collection. Portables, desktops and home computers.
My "specialty" is the repair/maintenance of 1980's and 1990's IBM and compatible machines - from the original IBM PC through to Pentium II systems. I also have a decent range of portables and laptops.
But as any good collector does, I have lots of 80's home machines as well - like the Amiga 2000 and Commodore 64.

Let me know!
I'm easy going, and love a little motivation to try something I may normally look over. Either message it in chat, whisper, or hit me up on twitter.
Usual rules like no spam, abuse, and being a negative nancy. But feel free to discuss anything that takes your fancy.
I'm always happy to chat and help others - so don't feel shy about asking questions or discussing your own projects too!
