Title: How computing (and people) looked in the year I was born....

No idea how I landed there, but I found this cool page with pictures of computing in 1967.....

Interestingly, we have EXACTLY that Tektronix oscilloscope (all tubes !) waiting for our flea market. It is from 1961, weighs 37 kg. And the original manuals are with it, in which the serial number is handwritten !!!
This should actually go to a museum but I fear it will end up in the garbage.....if anyone is interested let me know, it will go for very cheap:
