Yes, I'm collecting old computers! The progress in the computer industry is so lightning fast that computers will very quick become museum items. I try to collect some milestones and classical computers. For example the first PC, the first portable, the first true laptop and so on. I want all my computers to be in original shape, unmodified and in working condition. It is also fine if original OS, manuals and software are included.

As the museum is located in Sweden I have a special focus on Swedish computers.

New Arrival in the Museum...

This computer, sometimes named PET 4032, is the follower to the classic PET 2001 (sadly missing in my collection). Commodore changed the PET name to CBM (Commodore Business Machines). Commodore apparently had legal issues with the "PET" abbreviation. This machine has like the predecessor a MOS 6502 running at 1 MHz but missing the built in cassette deck. Now with 32K RAM memory and BASIC in ROM. The model number 4032 referes to 40 characters wide display and 32 k RAM. The 12" monocrome screen is integrated with the computer. This computer was normally sold together with the CBM 8050 dual drive floppy disk.

If you like collecting computers, you might also find a poker odds calculator to be useful! You wouldn't be able to play online poker at all if the computers collected by Rune's PC Museum hadn't been invented.
