If you're ever in Seattle, stop by the Living Computer Museum sometime. You can interact with mainframes, Teletypes, punch cards, etc. Lots of fun.
Here are some photos I took last time we went:

I included descriptions on most of these, if you're curious about anything in particular.
- rbanffy 13y agoIt's on my list. About your photo set, it's a great collection. I'm enjoying them a lot. Thanks for pointing us to it.
- lotharbot 13y agoIt's also fun to stop by the Museum of Communications [0], about 3 miles down the road, to see old working telephone exchanges and such. There's a lot of commonality between the two. (They are only open on Tuesdays, first Sundays of the month, or by appointment.) The MoC runs its own BBS off of an AT&T 3B2 model 500 [1], which can be accessed via telnet.
