About my interest in computers
Collecting vintage computers is one of my hobbies. When I grew up, there were lots of computer magazines where you could read about all the wonderful computers out there, but they all were very expensive back then. Today, some of them are available, and I collect some of the computers from my past whenever financials and physical space makes it possible. From my education and my first job, I got familiar with Norsk Data computers and Tandberg terminals. Today, there isn't enough information on the internet about either of these, I try to add a bit of the missing information when I can. You can find my contributions about terminals on this wiki, and about ND computers at the NDWiki.
