Jasmine Harman is visiting a man who's built four giant warehouses in his back garden to house his collection of more than 1,000 obsolete computers. 55-year-old Jim is a professor of neural computation and has dedicated his life to computers and how they work. He's spent the last 25 years accumulating everything from personal PCs, voting machines and home consoles, to giant super computers that used to run nuclear power stations and take up an entire room, but hold the same amount of power as your watch. Jim was recently been diagnosed with Parkinson's and wants to secure the future of his collection. Can Jasmine help him get recognition for his extraordinary collection?
