Computer History Museum | Yelp : Apple Employee #1 Daniel Kottke








i saw this very mod computer last night at yelp's fabulous
1st annual bash at the computer history museum with apple employee #1 daniel kottke as my personal docent! i LOVE computers + what they can do for us moms.
this computer is actually a mod orange in real life + i got to push the buttons + look inside the plastic visor. the price was $10,400 at neiman marcus, but it says, "there is no evidence any units were ever sold."daniel gave me a fascinating personal tour of the highlights of the museum, including the early apple computers he worked on + earlier computers that inspired woz, steve jobs + him to create the apple personal computers. he also showed me the grandfather of american computers, a united states census computer with dials + punch cards that cut the census tallying time from 7 years down to 3 years. there are so many computers. i've got to go back with daniel for an intensive look at all of them. the computer history museum is a fabulous website + free museum you should check out + yelp is a wonderful website for reading + writing reviews of businesses + services like this + everything in your community from restaurants to dentists to schools.
