This is one of my earlier computers, an Apple 2c. The huge dot-matrix printer is on the right and the compact keyboard seems so alien compared to keyboards I'm more familiar with. Just below the monitor on the left, is the 5.25 inch disk drive. Now, there's some high-end technology for you!

This morning turned into some fun moving computers, or something like that.
We decomissioned an IT suite, meaning we had to strip down these 32 venerable HP DC7700 machines so they can make their long, long overdue visit to the recycling centre.
Then we had to move the 32 computers from the room next door into the one we just cleared.
All good fun.
This is in preparation for some demolition that will be happening that requires some teachers to move classrooms.
In January.
Maybe.
In 1984 Sinclair launched the ZX Spectrum+. A fully suitable name, because the 'Plus' was nothing more then a face lifted normal ZX Spectrum, the big bang for Sinclair that was launched two years before.
The Spectrum+ tried to solve the biggest minus of all Sinclair computers so far: the awkward keyboard.

Here's the inside. Yes, that's a passive backplane with a basic power supply and five cards. There's almost no logic in there, which makes sense, since this is a dumb modem. It just MOdulates the serial port levels to sound for the speaker and DEModulates the sound from the microphone to serial port levels.
It's built like something that's about to be launched to Mars.
