Retro Computing Restoration

The early 1980s marked the start of the microcomputer revolution. For the first time, computers became accessible to the hobbyist market and was no longer relegated to purely academic purposes. In the next decade, the world witnessed a revolution as the nuclear age bowed to the digital age.

People were able to communicate across the globe through BBS's and early versions of what is now the World Wide Web. Computer games captivated the nation. New markets arose, with the software industry exchanging $1.45 trillion dollars between 1988 and 2010. Companies rose and fell, and new technologies were created faster than ever before.

Despite not growing up in this time period, I feel compelled to preserve it by collecting, restoring, and repairing 'retro' computers back into working condition.
