The "History of computing" series of articles sheds light on different eras, personalities and products in the history of computing. On this overview page you will find all published articles.

In case you're wondering why the series was no longer titled "History of Computing" from part 6 onwards: The name is simply too unwieldy and too long.

This overview page will be updated regularly. Check back regularly or follow me by clicking on "Follow author" on my author profile. <p
