In the News Dusty-Computing is now open! A collaboration between TipMonkies.com, OSNews.com and Expert-Zone.com, Dusty-Computing aims to become the biggest archive of old and/or exotic computer systems (BeBox, NeXT, SPARC, SGI, Altos etc) on the Net. In order to achieve that goal, we need your help. Use our form to describe your hardware, its modifications, condition, software, how you acquired it, etc. After you have submitted your piece of history, feel free to talk & discuss on the forums. Finally, the site features a mobile-friendly design for those of you on the go, so check it out with your Newton or your Cassiopeia.

Helf my friend, it does matter: I have already listed over 40 vintage computers on old-computers.com. I really don't feel like doing the same thing again. Therefore, the sites are competing, and that is, competing for my attention. Except, old-computers.com has a huge head-start, it has a "museum" section, a lively forum, and all those collectors that will continue adding new computers to the listing.

That's why I say it would be better spent effort to expand old-computers.com in some way, rather than stretching the "market". There is no profit in this, only fun for the collectors and rubberneckers. Why not have all the stuff in one place, to facilitate the rubbernecking?
