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?"

    You can tell, as they start their timeline at 1945, thus allowing them to start with Eniac, and leave out the earlier british computer (Colossus?) used to break the german codes during WW2. And some interesting polish work from the 30's. And that french beasty, and .......

    It's kind of like the 'space museum' that didn't mention Sputnik or Yuri Gagarin, childish really.
