I just saw that there’s a Computer History Museum channel on YouTube, and it includes the Commodore 64 25th Anniversary event from last Monday. I wasn’t able to make it, so awesome to see that it’s online. I spent a lot of time with my C64 back in the day, and have a bunch of those oft mentioned fond memories about the original 8 bit personal computers. I even fire up VICE, my Commodore emulator of choice every once in a while just to fool around. The games were certainly classic, but of course the real appeal for me was programming the thing and poking around in the guts. It had all these interesting ports on the back that were really easy to use to control external gadgets. Once I got to college the CoCo was generally the hardware hackers platform of choice. But I’ve always been a C64 guy at heart.

I came accross an old photograph that I think is an old computer. At least I think it was a picture of the station that someone worked at. I am not sure what I am looking at. The date on the back of the photo is May 27, 1949 and no other information. Do you know a site or someone who could look at the image and tell me what if it is truely a photo of an early computer (system)? Thanks – Greg
