- acomjean 3y agoWe went toRhode Island computer museum pre-pandemic, was fun (smallish) retro museum. We were offered a tour of the warehouse. A short drive later, a warehouse full of old machines. Impressive lot. It was a lot of fun. They rent them out for movies apparently. They have one old car. One of the founders told us he switched to computers because they were smaller..(ha) It’s impossiblely hard to keep all the machines working, but they're still fun to look up. https://www.ricomputermuseum.org/collections-gallery https://www.ricomputermuseum.org/collections-gallery
