Took a trip with the kid to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. Lots of stuff to see!

I got to see the ILLIAC (Illinois Automatic Computer) University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, i Had a friend who worked on it in 1967. Later I was at U of I in a programing course and we use punch cards and the programing language was FORTRAN 4 with a WATT 5 compiler IBM 360.
Glad you and your son got to see that old stuff. It is amazing how everything has changed.

As powerful as our computers are now days, I'm sure it was a totally different experience with the amount of work that had to be done to get a room size computer to do a fraction of what we can do at a desk now.

Thanks for the feature! I can't believe they have those cat barcode scanner things... but I guess a computer museum wouldn't be complete without them!

No problem, bro!
Thanks for sharing your footage!
