I've always had a strange fascination with old computers and would love to get my hands on some old storage tape drives like this one



Anyone ever seen these on ebay?

If you're a weirdo like me, what you should do is check out the tour of "old Nasa". Not only do you get to see the original launch pads and some old rockets, but you get to see and touch the original computers used from way back in the 60's. It was so cool I thought I was in nerd heaven. They had a PDP11 there, and some other computer which I was allowed to open up actually had wire-wrapped posts for internal connections. It was awesome!

(Hi ladies!)
