This was the first computer I ever seriously programmed on. You could load values into registers by toggling the switches on the front and hitting 'load'.

But it was smell of these machines almost overwhelmed me. That's how computers are supposed to smell. If you're of a certain age, you know what I'm talking about.

You know you are getting old when stories starts with "I remember when". Pretty soon you'll be telling your kids "When I was your age…". When my daughter hears those words, she leaves the room screaming! ;-)

BTW where is this computer museum?

Haha, you sound like you speak from experience :) Computer History Museum. It's at Shoreline and 101 in Mountain View in an old SGI building.
