Nice collection of vintage computer pics/clips, along with some pithy
quotes from the times. Which ones can you identify without looking at the
captions?

Super cool man. They really outdid themselves with how they displayed a
lot of these computers. Some of them kind of remind me of star wars for
some reason. Thanks for sharing.

A nice collection indeed. I recognized several, and have used a few,
including the Univac 9400 near the bottom of the page. The 9400's
indicator lamps were neon - it was beautiful in a darkened room.
