Vintage Computer Festival Revisits The PC Past

It is always amazing to see the things that our current sotware practices treat as not currently possible on todays machines (like, why is my 1ghz XP box sooo slooow?) Did the Beagle Brothers have a pact with Satan? Are we better off today than in the past?"

Computer History Museum in former SGI building by TheTranceFan · 2003-10-11 06:26 · Score: 4, Funny

I love the way the Computer History Museum occupies an overdesigned former SGI building. It's one of the many extravagant buildings SGI built then sold in the 90s before everyone noticed SGI was totally irrelevant.
Computer History indeed.
