  Hey back on thread...  I was in my MAME emulator looking to play 
an old legacy game as I do from time to time...  I recently DLd 
updates to the PCB and cabinet pics, etc, history and what nots...

  Thing is, this emulator can load those game ROMs and play the 
game, but the real purpose of the MAME development was to analyze 
the CPUs being used...

  So as I browse, I notice that some smart dude put in pics and such 
of some very old computers, so I sort by date, and sure enough, just 
about everything we made over here and everything y'all made over 
there is in there.  Not all of it, mind you, but a whole lot of 
hardware pics and such to browse through, so this 'APP' is worth 
DLing and the picture libraries and NO ROMs of hundreds of GB.

  You could name some old obscure piece of gear you worked with back 
in the seventies or eighties, and there is a good chance it is in 
there and a pic or two.

  I guess one could do the same on google, but being able to scroll 
through several different makers of gear is not something google 
does well.

  So I look up a DEC VT100, and I see a screen that shows the array 
and talks about it, and shows "double height font" (interesting).

  The Xerox piece is there...

  Computing equipment from as far back as 1948 is in there.

  Handheld calculators, electronic battleship.

 Sorted by CPU is cool too.

  Oh and that is all via the MAME app that allows one to browse the 
available packages.

  Mine actually has game ROMs and I have something like 155GB of the 
artwork and ROMs, etc.

 A lot more cool than when all it did was play old games.

  Name a CPU or machine you remember and I'll see if it calls up.
