A local ( Zurich, Switzerland ) shopping centre is holding an
exhibition on the development of the computer.
Not very big, but some real nice hardware is on display. Among then are
:
- Straight pdp-8
-ETH / Diser Lilith modula2 machine
- Altair, Imsai,
- HP IPC, HP110,HP150
- hp9100, hp67, hp01, Wang 700, Friden
-IBM360 ( console only )
And a whole slew of lesser machines and calculators.
Also some mechanical calculators ( Curta etc )
Shopping center is Letzipark www.letzipark.ch
I noticed a fair bit of interest of the people doing their weekly
shopping.
