Computers & Mobile Devices

At Classic Bay Area Computers! (CBAC!), we are a group of enthusiasts who bring 1970's to 1990's era computers to the public so that they can appreciate, recall, and use the computers in a hands-on experience. Our classic computers come from a variety of classic manufacturers, such as Commodore/Amiga, Apple, Atari, Tandy, Texas Instruments, and more. Enjoy the computers in which floppy disks and modems were important and speed was measured in megahertz!
