Everyone should go to the Computer History Museum asap for a PDP-1 demo. Today, I played Spacewar! on a PDP-1. This is unbelievably cool, not just because I played Spacewar, but because I got to meet two of the people who programmed PDP-1 at MIT in the 1960s, Steve Russell and Peter Samson.
From the website, but I would call to confirm, as I think today there were demos at 1:30 and 2:30: “fully restored PDP-1 computer system from Digital Equipment Corporation will now be available for public demonstrations on the first and third Saturdays of each month moving forward. Regularly scheduled demonstrations will occur at 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. on those select days by members of the museum’s restoration team.” (http://www.computerhistory.org/press/museum-new-sunday-hours-of-operation.html)
