Again being a computer history geek, I couldn&#8217;t help but to take a picture!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> If you are ever in Mountain View, CA and are a computer nerd like me, I strongly encourage you to go to this museum and see it for yourself. I actually went through the exhibits three times and saw something I missed each time! This is geek heaven! I just wish the  IBM 1401 and PDP-1 Demos were live when I visited (but it was still neat seeing these old restored computers). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can&#8217;t get to the Computer History Museum to see the exhibit in person.
