Xerox Alto
I'd only read about them in my HCI texts. It was neat to finally see
one in person, although I wish they had a working one. I know it's a
museum piece, but I can't help but think these things aren't *that*
old, we should try to keep them a part of living history.

Kitchen computer
This was marketed as a computer for housewives to store recipes on. I
don't think they ever sold any. But wouldn't you love to have one as a
coffee table?

Cray I
It's weird seeing the things I read about in textbooks in a museum. It
makes me feel old but also reminds me how quickly technology moves
forward. It was worth millions just a few decades ago and is now
sitting idle behind velvet ropes. (Or steel bars, whatever.)

Intense Gaming
This was during the summer of 2001 when Ian had graduated and had no job. He lived in Yuping and my room and played video games 24 hours a day.
