I am, I confess, a geek.
Just got back from an
excellent company holiday party, held in the Computer History Museum. Apart from the general party itself (which had much to recommend it - food, music, interesting people, a trampoline) there were the actual exhibits.
This place is simply neat. I need to go there again sometime and look at things more carefully - they've got an amazing collection of everything from an Altair 8800 to pieces of ENIAC to the first CDC6600 to a whole array of bizarre things Apple has built over the years. (The 20th anniversary Mac, a Lisa, a 128k, a PowerBook 170 done entirely in primary-colored plastic especially for a Japanese golf tournament...)
They also, oddly enough, have the very first computer I ever had a UNIX account on. Not one of the same model - the computer itself.
Hmm. I wonder if my password still works on it... :)
