RE-UPLOADED WITH PERMISSION

This is a guest lecture I gave earlier this yeah. Essentially is was a brief history of home computers. However being 40 years squeezed into 30 minutes; there was no way of covering *everything*. Also I don't claim to be an expert, so reserve the right to get a few things wrong.

"Faculty of Science and Technology's IT Manager Jason Weber presents a lecture to our first year, Introduction to IT students a brief history of the home computer. Complete with examples of the hardware from the day from his own personal collection."
