Welcome to the Obsolete Technology Website

A friend sent me a link to a website today that was so interesting, and such a nostalgic trip, I thought it would be the perfect Family First site to share with you today. If you have worked around computers for more that 10 or 15 years, I am sure you will enjoy this site as much as I did.

The site is called Welcome to the Obsolete Technology Website, and as it name implies, it is about old things. It serves as a history of the personal computer, or the home comuter, or what ever it was called years ago. Early personal computers were nothing like present day computers, they had personality! Each was different and more exciting than the previous, with new features and capabilities. Sure, they have limited power, were possibly very expensive, and can’t run any software written for a different system, but that’s what makes them unique and interesting! This website is dedicated to the preservation and display of these vintage computer systems. I saw the first computer I ever used (the Commodore Pet), the first one I ever owned (an Atari 400), and many others that I had only heard of, like the MIPS Altair 8800. Each computer has a link that gives in-depth reviews and history of it, as well as links to current websites (if any) for others who still like that certain model.
This site was a gold mine of information, and nostalgia. I remember when I did my first upgrade on an Atari 400 (took it to a whopping 64kb of ram!). If you have memories like this, then this site will be fun to visit. Share it with a friend, and come back often.
