I went to the Living Computers Museum in Seattle last week! I don't take photos much so I don't have a lot to post but I figured I'd share what I did take https://livingcomputers.org/

There was a room looping Bob Ross videos with a few various computers running drawing programs with tablets. I dug around the win98 machine's saved art (which had to be all BMP format because that's all paint could do then)

Turn out tablets from the 90s kind of are awkward so I mostly just used the mouse but tried my hand at it.

One thing we lost out on when computers got smaller is that they no longer double as furniture like this Cray-1

These things feel more like movie props than things people actually had to use to do things

I was far more focused on getting to play nethack (without a numpad) to pay attention to the details on this cool thing that could multitask, do graphics, and had a mouse.

I have like no experience with Nethack or vi keys so I was satisfied with managing to eat an egg and put on a blindfold.

One of the computers was broken and this dude with the most job security on the planet is in charge of figuring out which of these connections broke. I bet when everything's working he plays Nethack all day
