I just got back from the Computer History Museum!

Hehe, so much fun.  big_smile

It was big. And there was a PDP-1 there. And a Cray-1A. And a Xerox Alto, a prototype of Pong, one of Pixar's computers, blahblahblah *goes on nerd rant*

They didn't have an Apple III. Would of been interesting to see, though, because it was Apple's first of few commercial failures. (The other one that comes to mind was the Lisa, which they did have.)

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, and P!ppin or whatever.

THAT was really bad.

Apple's biggest failures are it's architecture choice ands it's newer mice.

They did have a Pippin too, in the Video Game part of the exhibit. (It wasn't big enough.)

That Pixar made computers, and lots and lots of things about really early computers. Like the Babbage Engine.
