Page reserverd for links to Super and Retro Computing machines.

Q: Why also Supercomputers?

A: Becouse when a supercomputer is build and operational it immediately becomes obsolete, and they are "cool".

Q: Is it only Heavy Metal that belongs in your Dino Penn?

A: No, ALL retro but i won't do pocket calculating machines (per-se) like most sites. But then again, i said "links to", i won't be providing the actual material but will refer to the available virtual musea on the net.

Old-school Supercomputing Company's

Q: Why "old-school"?

A: Because today Supercomputing tend to lean towards clusterig and geo-grids.
