Welcome to Binary Dinosaurs, the online display of a
real collection of nearly 500 computers that begins at the Magnavox Odyssey from 1972, travels
through the 'pong wars' of the 1970s, visits the explosion of diversity and excellence that created the home computer
market of the early 80's and ends when things started getting boring (for me)
in about 2001 with the Apple Mac G4, a machine still in use today.
Head up to the Control Panel to find yer way round the site
and enjoy your visit!

23 Apr 2012Happy 30th birthday to the ZX Spectrum! You can all start feeling old now.
15 Nov 2011Happy birthday to the Intel 4004 processor, 40 today! Also happy birthday to the room-sized computer that gave companies the ability to mass-process payrolls after initially calculating the movement of sticky buns - the Lyons Electronic Office or LEO. No I haven't got one ;)
13 Oct 2011Gah, another sad death - Dennis Ritchie has gone :( The co-founder of the C programming language and contributor to UNIX. RIP DMR. May you forever 'hello world'
06 Oct 2011Something I never wanted to add as an update. Steve Jobs of Apple has died aged 56. This man with Steve Wozniak shaped my world, words can't describe how gutted I am. Condolencies to Steve's family and friends.
30 Aug 2011RIP Tony Sale, the man who singlehandedly brought Colossus back to life. Arguably the first digital computer, it also brought the 2nd world war to an end at least 2 years earlier than it might have ended.
With Tommy Flowers you will never be forgotten.
