5/10

Considering most of those were made before I was even born, I don't think that's too bad :p

7/10 - I got the last three (the modern ones) wrong :o

I recognised the DEC immediately and I've actually used the IBM portable :o :o

Woo 6/10 :D Some were total guesswork but the games related ones helped hugely :) Not bad at all considering my age.

8/10 :shocked:

Should've been 9/10 but I made a silly mistake with one of the early ones (it was stupid as it was just the layout of components in the picture that threw me), and I got one of the consoles wrong. There were a few educated guesses though.

5/10, I've never worked out what we had when I was a kid but I'm sure it wasn't in any of these.

8 out of 10 for me, amazingly I got the eMac wrong which is a little embarassing, as well as the IBM Portable.

The consoles were easy of course :p. The rest I was lucky to have seen plenty in documentaries as well as messing with several in my school days.
