Welcome to ~/cat, a cat-a-log of the vintage/retro/old technology that I’ve collected over the years.
I find myself with significantly less time than I’d like to work on restoring all of these devices, so my hope is that folk in the community will take some off my hands, lovingly restore, and help to keep computer history alive. Get in touch with me in the Fediverse if anything here sparks joy.
