“That belongs in a museum!”
The Computer Museum of America is home to an impressive collection of consumer technology from the past century, as well as more than 70 supercomputers. The collection has actually been growing for years, but only now has the museum been able to secure a permanent location
Being able to see so many retro computers was a delight, and the collection was certainly more than just the most historically-important computers. There was a large plush version of the flying toaster from After Dark, a still-wrapped copy of the infamous Microsoft Bob desktop program, Nintendo’s beloved R.O.B. toy robot, a text-adventure game released by Microsoft in 1979, and an Apple-branded analog watch released by the company long before smartwatches were a thing.
