Relic

Theodore checking his favorite part of the exhibit--a 386 IBM computer.



We seem to be on a museum kick lately. Last week we visited the Brunswick Railroad Museum which centered on town history and the influence of the C&O Canal and the B&O Railroad.

As we were looking at old train memorabilia and antique medical instruments, Theodore called us to see the most interesting "relic" of all--a 386 IBM computer attached to a telegraph exhibit. Out of the hundreds of things we saw, this "ancient" computer that was still working was his favorite.


FYI--The IBM 386 was in its heyday during the mid-1980's.
