Re-Opened Computer History Museum Explored
gosand writes "An article over at OSNews gives a nice overview of the recently re-opened Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. There are some good pictures in the article, and also at the Museum's website. They have a lot of very interesting computers, including an Apple I (signed by Woz), an Enigma machine, and Crays 1, 2, and 3 (yes, there was a 3!) Maybe you have something sitting in your basement that you would like to donate?"
... when you can send all your old junk/I mean treasured old computers to a museum?

I don't want to see anything created after I was born be in something called a "museum" ... it makes me feel old...
Dang... I was just about to pull the Timex out from under the door it was holding open.
I have a really old computer from thousands of years ago. The name brand is "Abacus" and I believe they had many patents on the technology. The computer works by having the operator move beads based upon the calculation being performed. This is known as programming. Once the program has been written, the answer is immediately available. Execution time from programming it to getting the answer is zero, meaning that this Abacus brand computer is infinitely fast.

Quick, somebody donate a new webserver!

The world needs no more than one computer, it's just very spread out.
