As computers and technology continue to evolve and impact every facet of modern life, we have the unique opportunity and responsibility to preserve and catalog the rich history of this rapidly changing industry, as a reminder of where we’ve been and where we’re going. Last year, the Graduate School of Computer and Information Sciences established a Computer Museum.
Our goal is to have machines from various eras and computing power. Recently I was made aware of an unbelievable opportunity to get a Cray T94 Supercomputer for $10,000. This machine when new in 1995 was millions of dollars.
