This is the NeXT computer that hosted the first web server built by Tim Berners-Lee at Cern. It’s in a glass case with a note requesting that it not be turned off.
This photo is just one in a series taken at the Large Hadron Collider which may have found something interesting.

Cool. And it’s a Mac (sort of not really, it’s actually a Jobs).
Is it being used to host dvorak.org ?

It’ a Next ?
Oh my god, whatch out. Jobs will claim to have invented the internet and patent it.
He will then shut it down, leaving us only iOS apps left to use.

John, is there anyone in the world more qualified to do a “This Week in Computer Nostalgia”? New geeks can guffaw while the rest of us have fond memories. What do you say?
Perhaps John has more time now that Cranky Geeks is discontinued. TWICN? could be done just by John looking around in his attic. Who else can get 1.6 million + views of a Microsoft Barney doll.
I second the request for a “This Week in Computer Nostalgia” series. As a starting point, the 6502 microprocessor just celebrated its 35th birthday. It was in my 1979 Ohio Scientific Challenger C1P (as well as millions upon millions of products sold by Apple, Atari, Commodore,etc). I loved that microprocessor!
