The New Computer History Museum Exhibition

Under construction, scheduled in open in January.

I took a tour yesterday, and it’s looking great. The main hall exhibition will be called “Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing.” 19 galleries with 1,100 artifacts.

On the right here is a DEC PDP-8e used to assist with brain surgery at Mass General Hospital.
Quick, toggle in the data…

In 1973, the PDP-8 was the best-selling computer in the world. It had 4K of core memory in 12 bit words.
