Cyberpipe’s Mecca of Vintage Computers (BB Video)

Boing Boing Video archives: http://www.boingboing.net/boing-boing-video/
Mononchrom’s Johannes Grenzfurthner takes us backwards through time to Cyberpipes Computer Museum, a huge collection of functioning vintage computers located in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Dunja Rosina, Head of Project and a founder of the museum, shows us the collection which includes such dinosaurs as the Commodore 64, the ZX Spectrum, and the worlds first widely used business computer the IBM XT. Dunja and Johannes share nostalgia of the days of pirating games from the radio, the importance of the mouse, and the golden age of gaming in one color.

    I collect retro computers and consoles (video of my collection on my channel), and museums like this are absolute heaven.

    I went to the Bletchly Park computer museum in Milton Keynes UK recently, and they had a recreation of the WWII Colossus, used to break the german lorenz codes. Such an awesome machine.
