You might think your desktop computer is old, but that's nothing compared to these ancient relics. Two of the world's very first desktop computers have been discovered during a house clearance in London. The chance discovery revealed two of only three surviving Q1 computers anywhere in the world. Although it is often now overlooked, the Q1 paved the way for the computers we have today when it was launched more than 50 years ago. Brendan O'Shea, head of Just Clear which discovered the items, says: 'Never did I imagine that we'd find something so important to the field of technology and the history of computing.'
