As a kid I remember my dad taking us to his office at IBM on an occasional weekend. While he’d fetch something from his office we’d all look around at the technology around us. The darkened offices were full of mysterious, silent computer displays and massive copiers. In those days before the IBM PC these strange, exciting boxes always fascinated me.
I recently stumbled again upon IBM’s Computer Exhibits Archives, where IBM’s earlier computers still live on, if only as webpages. It was fun checking out the hardware I remember as a kid.
