It has been years since I was there but the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry had great exhibit of computers. I remember they had an IBM RAMAC 305 (I think it was working) along with many other historic devices.
It has been quite a while since I was there, has anyone seen this exhibit lately? On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 5:27 PM, David Boyes <[email protected]> wrote: > Second this one.
