Marvelous collection, and Jim delivered great enthusiasm and commentary. There's even more kit in the sheds than was visible in the BBC Collectaholics segment from 2015. Many supercomputers, minicomputers, microcomputers, terminals, peripherals, calculators both electronic and mechanical, radios, audio and electronic components, and some very special memorabilia.

It was an absolutely a wonderful experience for all our family. It was a treat for my husband who had seen the Youtube video. Our 10 and 7 year old boys thought it was great. After been told so much about computers "back in the day" they could actually see and feel them. It would be a good experience for those interested in how older technology has progressed over the years. We thank Professor Austin for his time and his amazing collection of computers, tv, radios and cameras. The boys have since brought a working Commodore 64 and are looking for a working Commodore PET.

What an amazing place! The collection was amazing, and the knowledge of the people who showed us around was second to none - there were so many conerstones of computer history and technology, each with its own story. Thanks to Jim and others for putting the effort in. We only had 2.5 hours in there, but could have spent days. There was everything from giant mainframes to the home computers I used to learn my first steps in software engineering. And there was so much more they could do - piles of equipment waiting to be sorted and displayed.

A very interesting, enjoyable and nostalgic afternoon. We were looked after very well indeed and had a great time. Hope to come again.

Wow! So many computers! And more computers. All of the old ones you remember, and a lot more that you probably don't!

Absolutely brilliant! Jim kindly took a few hours of his time to show us round his wonderful collection talking all about how he came across the items and about what they were used for. Certainly a must-see for any fellow computer enthusiasts!

Everything from 70s calculators, 80s home computers & 90s mainframes to present day supercomputers. But not just for computer geeks, a great day out in a lovely part of the country.
