It’s been 40 years now that I’ve lived surrounded by technology here in France — from the first 8-bit machines that fired up our imaginations to the modern GPUs that… well, just fire up.
And the more time passes, the more I realize this: tech shouldn’t just be preserved — it should stay alive, shared, and community-driven.
I restore, collect, and bring back to life everything that made enthusiasts’ hearts beat faster:
the 8-bit systems that started it all, the legendary 3dfx cards, all the way to today’s hardware.
Why?
Because each of these machines carries a piece of history.
Because they show not only the evolution of technology, but also the evolution of the communities that grew around it.
Keeping tech alive means preserving:
• the raw creativity of the 8-bit era, when every byte mattered,
• the explosive and sometimes chaotic innovation of the ’90s and 2000s,
• the communities that tinkered, shared, helped each other, and turned simple machines into legends.
I don’t want all of this to end up in a silent museum.
I want a living technological heritage — handled, tested, discussed, debated, just like back in the day.
After 40 years, I’m still doing this because I truly believe tech is a culture.
A culture that only survives if we keep it alive together.
So if you also remember the sound of a temperamental cassette drive, the thrill of a Voodoo2 in SLI, or the smell of a PCB that definitely ran too hot — welcome home. 🔧❤️
