Hey /g/, Could we get a vintage computers thread going? Discussion, pics, experience with old systems, etc. Preferably from between 1959-1985.

CuriousMarc has a youtube page about this exact place. They debug an IBM 729 in one episode. Fortunately for me my uncle worked with IBM from 1964-2004, so I've got lots of access to all sorts of goodies.

I'm sure you probably know of them already, but vwestlife, uxwbill, and lazy game reviews all have good content you'd enjoy.
