Fair use rationale for Image:Tiny Computer Company LTD Logo.gif
Image:Tiny Computer Company LTD Logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Date of founding
I was thinking straight away that date of founding was wrong - I recall their first machines really were tiny, perhaps the size of a couple of 3½" floppy drives on top of each other. Those were 286s if I remember correctly and would probably date to 1992 or thereabouts.  It was only later they essentially became a generic clone supplier.

Still vague memories don't count for anything but I did find a September 1995 issue of Personal Computer World in my pile of old computer magazines, probably published in late July. They have a Tiny advert. That doesn't establish when they were founded but it shows the date given is incorrect. 3142 (talk) 22:40, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Agreed that the founding date is wrong, my parents bought a Tiny Computers 486DX2/66 PC in 1994, ordered with 4MB RAM but they accidentally supplied 8MB. I doubt any paperwork survives for it any more, but there's a chance we might still have the box it came in. 8th October 2021 23:36 UTC

BBC say 1990:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/1791873.stm but the existing link to Business Week says 1981:  https://archive.ph/20141119034013/http://investing.businessweek.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=1565182 Mobeer (talk) 16:04, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
