In this video we get a first peek at the 25,000-square-foot "Revolutions" exhibit at the Computer History Museum in Silicon Valley. Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder, and curator Chris Garcia give us a tour around 2,000 years of computing history.
This exhibit opens to the public January 13th. We'll have a longer interview up at building43.com by the end of next week. Thanks to Rackspace, world's largest web hosting company, for making this tour possible.
www.computerhistory.org/ is the museum's website.

Wow, thinking about how I used to punch up my Fortran programs on cards, bring them to the admin building, come back later in the day to pick up the printout of the results. No time for trial-and-error programming back in the day. Then I went on to college and had an assembly course in COMPASS, which was for the huge CDC mainframes. The school eventually learned not to let students use assembly on the same machine used to run the school. My minicomputer course had us enter our machine code programs via the toggle switches on the front panel of a PDP-8. What a pain that was with no storage either. After graduating I worked on a number of NCR minicomputers with those huge disk platters for storage. I then went on to a company that developed systems with Data General Nova's. I could go on, but I just love how Woz gets excited when he talks tech. It's a true passion he has which he always seemed to want to share with humanity. I've been to the Computer History Museum in Mountainview a few times and it's a blast to see even if you aren't a nerd. Thanks for posting this wonderful video of the pre-opening of the museum with a Woz walk about.

When I went to junior high school we all learned how to do measurements on a slide rule. I have forgotten how to use one. My late friend Delmar P. Maroney who died a few years ago at 80, used to be an electronics tech in the Navy & later a computer scientist, kept his and still knew how to use his. At various times he owned a TI, Apple 2, Atari and various PCs.

Slide rules were required for all engineering students in the 1960's, slide rules can multiply, divide, raise a number to a power and calculate log base 10 and log base e. They are limited to about 2 to 3 significant digits accuracy but usually enough to get a design done in mechanical or electrical engineering.

Woz just breezed through the Cray-1 without saying much about it. Here’s a good story: When Seymour Cray heard that Apple bought a Cray computer to use to design their next computer, he said “that’s interesting - I’m using an Apple to design my next computer.” I spent a lot of time sitting at CDC consoles like the one at 13:50.

I bought my first computer in 1962 from Edmund Scientific Co. It was an analog computer, really an electrical slide rule, three potentiometers, a meter. and a switch. In 1969 I got some exposure to programming while working at Square Dog when one of my responsibilities was to enter some test data into an online system called IBM 360 Basic. While working for Doer Electric Co. their engineering dept. bought a 4 bit microcomputer intending to use it to develop a DC motor controller. When they got it they looked around for someone to assemble and test it so they had me take it home whence I got it set up & learned how to program it with toggle switches, the only output was a bank of LEDs. That was my introduction to machine language. In 1979 I went to work for IBM and happened to purchase an Apple II computer that same week because I just had to have one to calculate the orbit of Haley's comet arriving in just a few years but the first thing I did with it was to measure the speed of a .22 cal. bullet. I spent the next 20 years working as a Large Systems Customer Engineer. Computers have played a big role in my life. Woz has always been someone I admired very much and I would like very much to thank him for designing that gadget. That computer which was a store demonstrator I got for $1065 which I sold for $5000 two years ago. Did I make a killing? Introductory price $1,298 (equivalent to $5,800 in 2021). You decide, but I am happy.

Think a tech high school could make one using 3D printing and make it an exhibit in your Museum? Bet if Babbage had gone this way he could have had his Difference Engine made by the folks who made pipe organs.

ENIAC was built partly by people that were well aware of Colossus' design and workings. ENIAC was America's first computer if you don't count the several Colossus machines that were shipped over at the end of the war.

Interesting that Wozniak say intro to Computer Science was a graduate level course. This is why in high schools teachers still think programming a computer is a black art - and that you need to have advance mathematics skill. I disabused that teacher in my report for the class. Wasn't very charitable in what I wrote - but come on, you're teaching kids Excel and not showing them that you can do cell based formulas? Damnation." And my experience on keypunch was on an IBM 029. Hated that machine.
