Welcome to The Trailing Edge

This site is devoted to computing technology which has been left behind by the rapidly advancing Leading Edge of computing. Many interesting and useful systems have been forgotten with the mad rush to stay on the Cutting Edge and maintain the high sales of hardware and software companies. While we too like to have the latest and greatest, we don't want people to forget the legacy which lead to today's systems. Many of these older systems were once considered part of the Bleeding Edge but most people know little if anything about them or just dismiss them. If you have some item related to these old systems that you'd like to clear out or just want to say hello and share some story about them, you can email me at dlw@trailingedge.com.

If you are looking for the used PC store in Canada, this is not it. What you are looking for is here.

Between moving followed by a little thing like hurricane Ike, the site has been down for a LONG time but is finally back up. We have a lot of work to do to update everything and a lot to catch up on, email, info, etc. It's good to be back at last though.

2007-06-23More Exidy
Added the May 1980 Exidy Catalog and Price List to the Exidy Resorces section of the site. Received a Exidy Sorcerer in original box, tv and box of doc and software recently so expect more updates as I can get to them.

One of the items in the box of Exidy stuff was an unopened package of 4116 16K dynamic rams from Radio Shack. Price on them is $7.95 which is a lot less than I paid for my first set of eight 4116s. I have to admit, finding this gave me a bit of a thrill.
