The digital computer was invented at my alma mater of Iowa State University (see the machine above) by math/physics professor John Atanasoff and his grad student Cliff Berry during the '39-'42 school years.
I set up a makeshift Disaster Recovery Room. The computers weren't connected to anything, but it looks impressive.
My computer suddenly had some problems the other day. Luckily it hasn't happened since. I'm not sure what caused it.
Dude, I got a Dell!
Needed a new laptop after frying my USB ports on the old one... went with this Dell because I could get it with Windows XP installed (instead of Vista).
Step 1. set up network.
Step 2. download Firefox and appropriate plugins.
Step 3. download images from camera card.
Now I can set about the very dull task of transferring data.... then Kiddo will get the injured laptop for her own use.
From left to right: MacMini (first PPC), MacBook 13.3", MacBook Pro Unibody 15.4", old workstation PC w/ Vista with 30" Dell display, Dell laptop running WinXP, 12.2" X60s Thinkpad w/ Vista.
The new (refurb) computer for the church secretary. It's an Inspiron Desktop 570 MiniTower, with an AMD Athlon II X2 240 (2.8GHz, 2MB) processor, 640 GB SATA II Hard Drive (7200 RPM), 4 GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1066MHz (4 DIMMs), a FAX/modem (!!!) and Windows 7 Home Premium, plus a 1-year warranty of sorts. Cost including tax and free shipping = $368.66 from the Dell Outlet.
In the back: the monitor of my first computer, a Windows desktop named Emu. On the left, my ´05 iBook G4, known as Mamka (Мамка). And on the right, my newest baby, an EeePC 900A which i have dubbed Yozh (Еж), currently running some Linux distro which i think is Asus-specific and which i don´t particularly like yet. If it doesn´t grow on me in the next few days it´ll be replaced with some other Linux flavour.
The KL-10 Front-end for the Digital (DEC) PDP-11/40. At the San Jose Computer History Museum, which is really worth a visit. Wished I had brought a proper camera! More info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KL10-front-end.jpg
What one takes pictures of when there is way too many cloudy days and one is itching to go outside and take pictures!
I'm also sorry that I didn't pay more attention to this. It involved cooking oil somehow which I would have liked to see. They were accepting computer donations which immediately takes hazardous materials out of the waste stream. They were routed to different projects throughout the faire including the oil-related one which was to assemble the workable donations into a supercomputer. Does anyone know how that worked out?
bigbobby's computer room is now being dismantled. I do believe that it surely needed work See you guys next week

It's a comfy bed:) Also, I bought the tilting bed support from Ikea so I could watch my computer from bed. Best investment I ever made.
My new computer, the Dell XPS 410. I usually like to build my computer, but this time I had it built for me. It was a bargain and its quite a powerful setup.
This creeps me out every time I look at it, my computer when it completely broke down. Luckily it was repaired.

This week's theme was: I is for Invention
I've had this keyboard since the 90s and I still love it. It needs a couple of converters these days so I can connect it to my new computer thanks to the invention of these converters. :-)
Going through some old photos on my pooter and found a whole bunch from a sunny weekend down in Bristol that show the many things that Dad and Grandpa liked to do.
Computer things - possibly skype or flickr going on here.
