American Computer Museum

Hi All,

Today we did museums in Bozeman, MT. First stop was neat computer & Robot Museum with lots of historic photographs and artifacts.

This is ENIAC circa 1946. It was the first large scale programmable machine built with 17,468 vacuum tubes and 6,000 switches.

Jump forward only 25 years and Intel designed the first microprocessor, the 4004 with 2,300 transistors in about 0.02 square inches!

This is one of the few remaining Apple 1 computers, donated and autographed by Steve Wozniak.

There was much in the way of nostalgia, here's our first computer, the Commodore 64.

By 1985 we had one of the early "tombstone" MacIntosh machines.

Lots of space and military equipment- this is a German WWII Enigma machines.

Anyone remember Robbie the Robot warning,"Danger, Danger Will Robinson"?
Love,

Sandy & Carl
