Marvin was an aging and broken server we bought in a deal with The Computer Shop @ Integrem). He was an HP 9000 Series 800, built between 1991-93.

Formally a workhorse of the BBC Network Costing System, he was intended to have a clean up and a re-install of his operating system - but alas a copy could not be found for a reasonable price. He was laid to rest in June 2007.

RIP Marvin.
