Description

What kind of high tech mecca would San Jose be without a museum dedicated to the history of computers? This large, state of the art facility offers a fascinating look at the device that has revolutionized modern life. The largest and best collection of computing artifacts anywhere in the world, the collection contains over 50,000 objects, 4,000 square feet of documentation, and (of course) several hundred gigabytes of stored software. You can check out the original Cray-1 supercomputer, the early Apple I personal computer (the company's first), and many other items which have near sacred status in the tech geek universe. Besides equipment, the museum features an informative timeline that shows how computers and microprocessors developed, and also hosts occasional lectures and events.
