T171 Useful Stuff - The Development of the PC

All these links were working at the time of writing. These are just a small selection of the material available on the Web. I have included company sites amongst these links because most established companies have a biography/history section amongst their pages which can be a source of useful information. All these links open in a new browser page so this page will always be available.
