View the history of microcomputer companies in timeline form. Data can be filtered by UK and US companies, or everything, which includes some European and Far East manufacturers. Sort by company name, company lifetime, the date the company was founded (or started producing calculators or computers specifically), and the date it died, was sold off or otherwise exited the computer business.

Most telling is to sort by defunct date, where the great mass extinction of micro companies between 1983 and 1986 can be seen as a cliff wall. There's another smaller wall around the dot-com bubble of 2000, for the few companies that lived that long.
