old-school computer wallpaper project :: introduction
A geeky tribute to some computers I've known, owned, loved, hated, or
admired for whatever reason.
Atari 400 (1979 - 1982)
Our first offering, the Atari 400, was Atari's big jump into the world of home computing. I got one of these for christmas when I was in 8th or 9th grade and spent hours learning how to program it in Atari Basic (yeah, with line numbers and all). And, when that wasn't working out, it played a mean game of Donkey Kong and Ms Pacman. Learn more about it here.

Apple Macintosh Classic II (1991 - 1993)

Apple PowerBook 170 (1991 - 1992)
Top of the original PowerBook line, the 170 was the first mac laptop with an active matrix screen. This one would have set you back $4,600 brand new. Check out all the specs here.
