A Trip Down Computer Memory Lane

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the pigs-and-portables dept.

News.com has an interesting stroll down memory lane with a look at the "DigiBarn", a collection of technology from early mechanical calculators to modern web appliances. NASA contractor Bruce Damer and partner Alan Lundell run this "museum in transition" from a 19th-century farmhouse deep in the Santa Cruz mountains. In addition to notable success milestones, the company also includes some of the industry failures, like an Apple III Damer acquired from Apple's legal department.

    It would have been a short trip down memory lane if the Gates had stopped us at 640k.
