    This is awesome. Understandably in museums you are not allowed to touch the old hardware, let alone run programs.

    That being said if you want to get close to a remarkable collection of early computers I can recommend the Deutsches Museum in Munich, Germany. They have other models besides IBM, like the original Zuse Z4 and a leather covered Cray you can sit on.

    Oh, that is just precious.

    Set up four tape drives, so you can run the sort. The Computer Museum has the program.
