Who is Ata? And how it all started?

My name is Ari Tommiska, and Ata is my nickname. My passion for computers sparked as a young boy in the early 1980s, leading to a professional career in ICT infrastructure and procurement that began in the mid-1980s.

I started collecting 20-30 years ago, initially recovering computers I had once owned, then seeking machines I had dreamed about, and eventually preserving everything related to vintage computing. What began as personal nostalgia has grown into a mission to safeguard computing history for future generations.

Btw, that’s me in the logo :)
