I spent a couple of hours today at The Interim Computer Museum (icm.museum) going “oooooh”.
Walking into the room holding the Thinking Machines CM-2 supercomputer stopped me in my tracks. The lights are simulated right now but restoration is underway!

This is a major level up for Scott, congratulations on this breakthrough in visibility! Also bonus points for having the Altair 8800 in view! @scott.hanselman.com

We might be the only TOPS-20 site that has continued to operate since the 1990s. We currently run TOPS-20 24/7 on 5 decsystem-20 clones of which 3 allow for remote login. Interested to see TOPS-20 EXEC which influenced the Symbolics LISP Machine?

This MITS Altair 8800 kit was partial assembled with some errors but never completed. It sat for decades but now it has finally been corrected and completed with a new power supply. Here it is running its first game program.

Several years ago DTSS principals recovered and emulated the historic 1960s GE-235 @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social Time Sharing System. If there were a non-gui, non-web text only version icm.museum would like to host it for others to experience. Would anyone like to help?

I cannot believe just how massive VCF MidWest has gotten.
Room block registration opened almost two days ago and occupies something close to 75% of the hotel. At last look the block reservation was 90% full.
I really wish the best for everyone who is going this year because it's gonna be big!
