The Full List

Here are all the rest home residents I've ever had, arranged in roughly chronological order. Due to changing life circumstances, I'm slowly passing on my collection to others. Consequently there are many units I don't own anymore. These are flagged with an asterix (*). However, I've left their entries in, as they give my take on the computers.

The headings represent the year the models were introduced to the marketplace. Click the links next to the photo to get my take on the model. If you want to know what inspired me to start collecting in the first place, click here.
