Here's an interesting timeline from their site:
http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/cgi/computing-timeline.pl - have a snoop
around, there's a lot of interesting stuff on there.

Oh, and here's the Commodore VIC-20 for Tim >

OK, I think I have you all beat on the early high tech front.
Commodore VIC-20 with a whopping 5K memory, and a cassette player
for storage.

If you're going to be like that...
I had a MITS Altair 8800 with 256 bytes of memory, where you would step

through memory to then toggle bits on and off via sense switches beneath
LEDs.

I think we should stop there, rather than go back further, to desk

calculators and comptometers. :-)
