It's sad to see rare artifacts from computing history sold in an auction. The items were originally part of Paul Allen’s Living Computer Museum in Seattle, previously open to the public for many years. After his recent passing, his family is selling them all away, the proceeds will vanish into trusts, and the museum is permanently closed. Thankfully, the Computer History Museum in California still exists. https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/firsts-history-computing-paul-g-allen-collection/lots/3726?COSID=&cid=sh_hub&bid= #retrocomputing

@tarek It is sad. In a world of digital first, not many can relate to older computing hardware we once loved.
We lived through countless technology growths both desktop and handhelds. Someone told me if the new tech doesn’t interest you, embrace the older tech that is being thrown away.
