Last weekend I made an unannounced visit out to
Roswell, GA to visit
our brothers-and-sisters-in-hoarding at the Vintage Computer Festival
Southeast. They were hosted by the new location of the Computer
Museum of America, not yet open to the public. The show was a solid
representation of the hobby, with a wide range of micros, minis and
workstations as well as a few calculators and computing ephemera. On
the museum side, I've never seen so many Crays in once place - and
they're not even done yet!
Wow! Now that is a museum -- holy crap. I've never seen so many Cray
bits in one spot. Reminds me of a personal collection of a guy I chatted
with some time ago.
Most impressive! And also, the Thinking Machines CM-2! Very few CM systems
out there. It used to be on my list -- thank goodness I never got one
after seeing the CM-5 at the NSA Cryptographic museum.
Very cool!
