Hi everyone, my name is James and I live in London, U.K.
I came across this site while Googling so thought I'd join up.
I've had an interest with computers since I was 4 years old. My parents bought a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k, but they couldn't get it to do much. I had a sneaky play with it and I've been hooked ever since.
I love all aspects of vintage computing and my dream would be to own a vintage 1970's mainframe like an old Honeywell or IBM :D
I currently own a few systems both old and new. I've still got my Spectrum and I also own a Compaq Portable Plus & Portable 2 plus a couple of 486 machines.
My most treasured machine however is a 1996 HP Netserver LX Pro which is called Big Bertha. I've owned this since 2002/3 and have restored and upgrded it since. It may not be a vintage mainframe, but it's big, runs multiple SCSI drives and is now quite rare here in England. I've also got a Netserver LH Pro to keep Big Bertha company
Apart from computers, my other interests include Electronics and Music.
Hope I haven't bored you too much lol. I'm now going to check this site out.
Take it easy
