A Walk Through the Computer History Museum

This video is one of five museum visits I made while in the San Francisco Bay area in the days predeeding my Train Odyssey 7.
In this video, I visit the Computer History Museum, located in Mountain View, California.
The other museums are Castle Air Museum, Moffett Field in Mountain View, Oakland Aviation Museum, and the Travis Air Force Base Aviation Museum near Fairfield, California.
My intention in producing these 'museum walk-throughs' is to give prospective visitors a batter idea of what artifacts a museum has, where the museum is located, how much time to allow to see the museum, etc.

That was an amazing tour, thank you. Great for someone like me who's not in The States.

I have an SGI O2! It was a great platform in the 1990's with it's RISC based processing and high-end Computer Graphics!

Interesting place. A lot of the stuff brought back memories. My dad worked for Control Data Corporation at Edwards Air Force Base (NASA) for over 25 years and I remember going to work with him seeing a lot of those computer systems.

When I was in college in the late 80’s one of the engineering classrooms had a large slide rule like the one in this museum for teaching how to use it. Even then we all thought it was old fashioned - now most people don’t even know what it is.

Thank you so much for allowing me to see this! Visiting this institution would be prohibitive for me. I really appreciate you taking the time to create this video. I love your other videos too. Thanks youtooobaaah

Thx for the video I remember going home from work on garbage day and passing something put to the curb. I immediately stopped and through it in reverse to see a DEC microvaxx 2 sitting there which I promptly brought home and put in my basement

Great video, found 2 texas instrument sr-50s in a charity shop a few years ago, they were the first hand held scientific calculators in the UK. No price on them, and I told the lady, that they shouldn't just be left on a table, as to a collector, they'd pay quite a bit of money for them, she asked me how much and I said I wasn't sure, but I only had a couple of pounds on me, and that was certainly not enough. She sold me one for £1, and put the other one aside to look into looking elsewhere. Still got it and it still works well

Thank you for another great video series.

Great, faelouse display of Computer history. Lo´s to explore exordinairy systems. Mechanical calculators, early electronic computers wich only expert now how to operate. Micro developmentl Some of those punch cards Paul Allen % Bill Gates used for their basic programing. Little interactive, some systems working would malke it more exciting to display. Nice tour, thank you for your effort !

Thank you for the tour, it was interesting. I'm glad to see the trash 80, but no Apple IIe. I recognize the palm pilot from my first PA in college.

Hard to take your « History » seriously when you overlook the Wang Loci , 700 and the 2200

[@ryanyangsa]

Thank you for the video. I'm very passionate about computer technologies and plan to visit the museum this year. Could you recommend anything for those planning to visit? 🙂🙂🙂

Those early pacemakers were horrible, stretching out the skin of the user, but worked till the battery became useless.

Interesting.... no mention of NCR's mainframe systems. Starting off with the 315 and going on to the NCR Century and Centurion.
