The Thing

Part of my collection comprises:
HP 'laptop' with orange screen, 128K RAM, MS-DOS 2.3 in ROM, no drives and only a serial port! Circa 1988.
IBM PS2 (80286) circa 1990.
Amstrad PPC640 'laptop' with 3rd party external 32Mb harddisk.
Various 286 and 386 based PCs.
Various 486 and pentium laptops.
Serial dot matrix and golf ball printers.
Thermal portable printer circa 1992 (uses fax paper or really strange ribbon in cartridges).
Loads of other stuff, all stored in my brothers loft (thank goodness) along with his growing collection of old mobile phones. I am sure he has a couple of early games console and we have and origianl working Pong game (bip-bop-bip-bop etc.)

Why we keep all this stuff I don't really know!
