Timeline History of Computing - Wikipedia
A colleague sent me this link today. Quite relevent as I'm currently (for a side project) looking to bring alive a "time tunnel" to physically show how computing has evolved and to extrapolate the future. (It's sobering to think that just 20 years ago most big businesses were still using punchcard systems somewhere!!!!)
Anyway - this wikipedia article might not look pretty but it reminded me of lost gems like the Apple Lisa and the Commadore PET (on which I did my degree project!)

I found this item interesting (although the display was terrible on my mac) I worked in IT for a blue chip company and remember the punch cards and the massive old NCR mainframe computer. Times change and I can now wear round my neck more storage than could have been dreamed about. An IT outsourcing to Bangalore made me move away from programming, but not IT itself, its a brilliant environment to work in. I would be interested in your time tunnell concept.
