Under construction, scheduled in open in January.

I took a tour yesterday, and it’s looking great. The main hall exhibition will be called “Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing.” 19 galleries with 1,100 artifacts.

On the right here is a DEC PDP-8e used to assist with brain surgery at Mass General Hospital.
Quick, toggle in the data…

In 1973, the PDP-8 was the best-selling computer in the world. It had 4K of core memory in 12 bit words.

  1. Should be no shortage of old computers…
    Want my 1990 Windows 3 diskettes..?
    I bought some ? 1980 Computer magazines at a yard sale…hours of fun.

    I am most grateful to see the price of "robot vacuum cleaners" coming down…
    and being able to Google a recipe for fried chicken.

    So thanks all of you.
