About my pins and mypins.de

It must have been in the late 80th when I got my first IBM pins. As far as I remember these must have been some OS/2 pins. I liked them and stored it in a box somewhere in my drawer of my business cabinet. After getting more my interest grew. I started to group and organise my pins. From that day on I let others know that my passion started to burn and that I am interested in getting more. Over the time I started some trades by swapping a few so that my collection grew.

Some day I developed a small database to manage my pins - programming can be fun too. The big disadvantage was that this results could not be shared. With the spreading of the internet technology I thought about programming a private homepage so that others can see my collection. Ok - not many are interested in this, but - as I said before - programming is also fun. It took several evenings (and nights) in selfstudying and experimenting to create this - the homepage of My Private IBM PIN Colletion. In the meantime the third version of my homepage is online... Enjoy it !
