Great photos! I'm curious as to how long ago this
equipment was in
operation. The photos here and on the auction site almost looked like
someone just got up and walked away, at least from the desks and office
supplies, etc. that I saw.
Perhaps more recently than one would think. It's not like there were
newer systems they could have used to keep their simulators running
(tho I did see some PCs in the room that may have been performing the
tasks of the older machines?)
I would have loved to have been there at the clean-out. A nice
example of a proper old datacenter, preserved.
Wonder if anyone got the actual simulators/cockpits? Fun toys but
won't fit in your average basement...
