Thierry Schembri and Olivier Boisseau met in a pub in London in 1973. They both were fond of computers and teddy-bears. They spoke for hours and finally concluded that teddy-bears were not a particularly interesting hobby. So they decided to focus on computers. Then they left the bar and never saw each others for years.
<br />
Then in 1998, in a little french village, they met again in a an "old-computers collectors meeting". They spoke about the good old time and laughed about the fact that they once were fascinated by teddy-bears, though Thierry was still an active member of the "anonymous teddy-bears collectors"...
<br />
They learned that they were both developping sites devoted to old-computers and decided that they would be much more effective if they merged these two excellent web-sites.
<br />
Though the two friends were separated by millions of kilometers (Thierry lived in the Artic area, and Olivier on a beach with palms), they quickly started their new project and soon produced something very funky.
<br />
At the start of 2001, they officialy launched their new site and received many congratulations from all around the world !
