This was one of my favorite museums in the world.

My wife and I have many good memories playing checkmo against a beautifully maintained PDP-8 At the museum. She just yelled out a genuine “No!” when I relayed the closure.

At one point they kept a binder of photos of victorious players.

We never made that binder and I guess we never will.

The hardest part about history is that human minds are unwilling to grasp the 'realness' of it. Being able to directly touch and play with the past reality really makes you appreciate how we arrived at modern computers.
