About
Welcome

This web site was designed to provide some detailed information about the early years of computer technology. This is an often overlooked part of computer technology, but is still integral to today's computer technology. Since not only did the discoveries and inventions in the past influence the present, but many current technologies we still use today came directly from these early days of computing.

We hope you enjoy this tour of the early days of computing.
